Bookmarking secure sites and modifying existing bookmarks

How to bookmark protected UCLA application sites and ALL other UCLA -logon-required sites that are protected— this is an issue with many sites that require a logon and do not have a bookmark-friendly first landing page. 
 This is not limited to just UCLA Shibboleth ( UCLA Logon) protected sites, however in this example this is what is being used. 
 Instructions below are for Firefox and for Internet Explorer. 
 Start: 
 
 Wherever you have the site URL stored (usually via e-mail for most users), find the site URL . 	 Right click on the site → “copy link location” (or “copy hyperlink” or similar) 	 do a normal (left) click on the URL to cause it to open in your browser of choice. 	 Add a bookmark for the site. PLEASE GIVE IT a relevant name instead of the default name. Please remember where you placed the bookmark. 
 
 The remaining steps are browser-specific: 
 Firefox: 
 
 Go to Bookmarks → Organize Bookmarks 	 Go to folder you placed the bookmark you just created in (please remember the name of the bookmark/the folder you placed it in from step #4). 	 Click on the bookmark ONCE to select it. 	 At the bottom of the bookmarks library window, you will see three fields— Name/Location/Tags. Verify this is the correct bookmark per the Name you created in step #4. 	 Click on the “Location” field, COMPLETELY delete the old location, then right click → PASTE . 	 Confirm that the URL you just pasted in is the same URL from step #2. 	 Close the Bookmarks Library window by hitting the red x at the very top right. 
 
 Then you’re done! The next time you click on the link, it should open the UCLA -login-required site correctly. 
 Internet Explorer: 
 
 Click once on Favorites → find the bookmark you just created → RIGHT -click on it → select Properties 	 Verify this is the correct bookmark per the name you created in step #4. 	 In the “ URL ” field of the window that opens up, COMPLETELY delete the old location, then right click → PASTE . 	 Confirm that the URL you just pasted in is the same URL from step #2. 	 Close the bookmark window by hitting “ok” at the bottom. 
 
 Then you’re done! The next time you click on the link, it should open the UCLA -login-required site correctly.
