*The active list level is the list box that responds to keyboard input. If the window style is standard Windows, this is indicated by a dashed line around the selected item in the list. With the custom window style, this is indicated by a red (by default) border line around the list box.

**When you open a bookmark, you can change the default behavior by holding down either the Shift or Alt key as follows:

Hold down Shift key: Open bookmark with the frontmost/new tab default switched.
Hold down Alt key: Open bookmark then minimize Bookmark Buddy (or, if auto-minimize is set, do not minimize Bookmark Buddy).
