Firefox 3 introduced a new way of keeping an eye on bookmarks in the Firefox browser. Tag supported was added in the version which allowed users of the browser to add descriptive tags to bookmarks which can be referenced when text is entered in the browser's address bar
Instead of having to enter the address of the website in question or at least part of it, you can enter a tag instead and results matching the entered tags are displayed.Tags are quite useful when you need to bookmark several pages on a website, say multiple articles here on Ghacks. Entering ghacks in the address bar won't necessarily reveal the article that you want to open while entering the associated tag might.
The screenshot at the top shows the tag help on the right side. Tags don't have to be identical to a site's address or title which is the greatest strength of the system.
Adding tags to bookmarks is completely optional and a cumbersome process especially for users who imported bookmarks from Firefox 2 and decided to tag them all, or at least part of them, to use the tagging feature in Firefox.
The following three Firefox add-ons help the user and make tagging much easier.
