Hi   Ben  !

Look at the the top of this website,   do you see:

https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1140961     ?

Now,  that   is the   URL   of this website.

An   URL   can also start with:   'http://'   or   'www'.

Anymore questions:   feel free to ask   !

Hi   again   !

Fellow-contributor   FredMcD   just pointed out to me that my reply to you should have been:
Look at the top of   this page,   do you see:

https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1140961     ?

That is the   URL   in the address bar.
It tells you what web page you are currently looking at.

An   URL   can also start with:   'http://'  or   'www'.

Note that the Keyboard shortcut Ctrl + L will move focus to the addressbar, and that other keyboard shorcuts will copy and paste it.Ctrl + L means hold the [Control] key and press the key [L] Use this sequence 

Ctrl+L    Ctrl+A   Ctrl+C   Ctrl+V

Using the Ctrl+V where you wish to paste the URL. You Could practice that while trying to reply to this question.

Also are you aware you can drag the icon to the desktop to make a shortcut. (I do not Think Happy112 is able to do that !!) or you can bookmark a webpage to make it easy to find
