> FF (Firefox?) address var ???

he  probably means the Firefox address bar;
(b and v are near each other on a keyboard -- likely typo;
  and they also are near each other in some speech
  space of consonants - that a linguistic expert, or
  speech therapist, could comment on...)
The Firefox address bar is where you end up when
  you do a File / "Open Location" (or Ctrl-L) in FireFox.
