If it's a website you keep visiting frequently then bookmark it. Ctrl+D. If it's not, then close it and you will go back to it later when the time arises. If you have a lot of bookmarks, consider making folders for them.

I migrated my Firefox to Waterfox just now. It was pretty easy. Here's a step by step guide: 1. open about:support 2. click on "profile folder: open folder" 3. repeat for second browser 4. close both browsers 5. delete everything in the browser you want to migrate to 6. copy everything from old browser to new browser This way all passwords, bookmarks, extensions, extension data, open tabs, etc are transferred.
