This will toggle between button and text-based location bar. Then you can paste the address and press ‘Enter’.<\/p>\n Alternatively, you can navigate to the folder in the normal way, stating with the ‘File System’ icon in your ‘Places’ sidebar.<\/p>\n Copy the file pi<\/strong>, and paste it into this folder.<\/p>\n 3.
