1.5 OKIEBUNTU
I am going to leave you with a really cool how to from my blog.
http://okiebuntu.homelinux.com/blog/

We are going to make Firefox bookmarks that make accessing Ubuntu
information easy. How would you like to find an Ubuntu man page by just
entering “man apt” in your address bar. Pretty neat huh, read on.

Go to Bookmarks > Manage Bookmarks
In the left column click on Bookmarks Menu
Go to Organize > New Bookmark

*Name - *Find Ubuntu Manpage
*Location -* http://manpages.ubuntu.com/cgi-bin/search.py?q=%s
*Keyword* - man

click Add
So now in your Address bar type “man apt” without the quotes and replace apt
with whatever Man Page you would like to find. So man is the keyword you
specified and whatever you type after that is replacing %s in the URL. You
can use whatever keywords you want.

Here are a few more:
*Name -* Find Ubuntu Packages
*Location -* http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=%s
*Keyword -* pack

example - pack kubuntu-desktop

*Name* - Find Bug in Launchpad
*Location* - https://launchpad.net/bugs/%s
*Keyword -* bug

example – bug 5326

*Name* - Find Person/ in Launchpad
*Location* - https://launchpad.net/~%s
*Keyword* - lp

example – lp duanedesign

*Name -* Report a bug in Launchpad
*Location* - https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/%s/+filebug
*Keyword -* report

example - report avahi-daemon

Now that you have a good idea of how this works try and make some of these
bookmarks for your favorite pages. If you come up with any good ones send
them out over the mailing list
