I may have turned it off, but I no longer have the Bookmarks toolbar on either Firefox or Chrome because I find them a waste of space.

It is, however, a given that any web browser has a bookmarking mechanism, and with the exception of IE (and maybe Edge) every one of them uses the terminology, bookmarks.

I am sighted, and I've been using web browsers since they first came into existence, and I have no recollection about how I came to know about favorites/bookmarks at this juncture.  But once I knew they were a standard feature of any web browser, a quick web search on the browser name and the word "bookmarks" returns more documentation on how to use them for that browser than you will ever be able to plow through (or would want to).  For example:

                    https://duckduckgo.com/?q=chrome+bookmarks

                    https://duckduckgo.com/?q=firefox+bookmarks

                    https://duckduckgo.com/?q=opera+bookmarks

                    https://duckduckgo.com/?q=waterfox+bookmarks 

and so on and so on and so on.

I'm sorry, but anyone who has been using the internet for decades, regardless of whether they can see or not, should know how to do a simple web search for information this basic (and significantly less basic).   This is an essential skill that I cannot fathom anyone who browses the web not having learned how to do, and early.
