Another way to tackle that uses tabbed browsing. When you recognize a conceptual digression like that, launch a new browser window, and spawn the new topic over to it by dragging the icon from the URL in the navbar to it. Then minimize the new browse window until later when you're ready to pick it up. If you need a persistant pointer outside your normal bookmark set, the icon can be dragged to your desktop, or a folder on your desktop, rather than a browser window. This eliminates the hassle of keeping a text file for this stuff.
Also, some folks don't realize you can bookmark a *group* of URLs in Moz. Do bookmarks/file bookmarks; there's a file-as-group checkbox in the dialog box. This saves a bookmark with URLs for *all* the open tabs in it; opening the bookmark opens all the URLs in tabs again. Handy.
So, when Ron publishes "browser tips from the experts", we'll all know where he got it. :-)
