2
Action: 

The Location bar at the top of the window shows the URL (web page address) of the site you're viewing.

Tip: To change a URL, no need to highlight the entire previous address. Usually clicking once anywhere in the URL will auto-select it and you can begin typing in another address immediately.

Tip: You don't always need to enter the prefix "http://www." for URLs. Notice the address in the second image. The two links depicted take you to the same place.
