[TAG] Tip: Bookmarklets in Mozilla

[Jimmy O'Regan]

One of the nicest features in Mozilla is the ability to add a keyword to 
a bookmark; this lets you cut down on typing - lg instead of 
http://www.linuxgazete.net for example. To set one, select the bookmark 
in the "Bookmark Manager"; in the properties dialogue simply set the 
"Keyword".
Better still is the ability to add '%s' to the URL in the bookmark; 
which puts properly escaped text in the place of the '%s'. Included is a 
set of sample bookmarklets; these can be imported in the bookmark 
manager using Tools->Import.
