Firefox Addess Bar tips

This is a list of modifiers you can set at the beginning of the search to tell firefox what do you want to see on the results, a kind of filtering:

^ to search for matches in your browsing history.

* to search for matches in your bookmarks.

+ to search for matches in pages you've tagged.

% to search for matches in your currently open tabs.

# to search for matches in page titles.

$ to search for matches in web addresses (URLs).

? to search for matches in suggestions.

  • Libraries and archives are allowed to digitally share other media types, such as books, film, and audio, and are not restricted to on-premises access
  • The Entertainment Software Association, the video game industry's lobbying group, has consistently fought against expanding video game preservation within libraries and archives
