What to Type into the Address Bar
When you click the tiny folder icon at the left end of the address bar (or
press Alt+D), the bracket notation changes to the slash\notation, meaning
that you can edit the address. At this point, the address bar is like the little
opening in the glass divider that lets you speak to your New York cab

address box, called the Go button), your web browser opens to the
web page you specified.
