Your browser gives you a number of tools for finding your way on the Web as you move from one link to another.  You've already used links to navigate, and you've gone to a known URL (address).  You've used your Back button to retrace your steps.   And you've used a Bookmark or Favorite. 

You have other navigation tools as well.  Click anywhere on this page using the right mouse button instead of the one you usually use.  A menu appears. You can make a selection using either mouse button. 

The Home button takes you to your browser's startup page (in a minute you'll see how to set the startup page you want). 

In addition, a drop-down menu on the Address or Location field (see the little down arrow at the far right of the field) lets you go to some of the places you've been before.  

Finally, modern browser versions let you hold down the Back button (or a small arrow next to it) to review the list of places recently visited.  Then you can select from the list.
