I just downloaded Firefox, Mozilla, WHATEVER THIS THING IS!!!

I know it's a browser because up top it says 'Neurotalk Communities - Reply to Topic - Mozilla Firefox.

I want all my favorite places to be on the left side of my screen (just exactly like it was with Internet Explorer. I went to Bookmarks, and I can see the favorites (they're called Bookmarks with this browser, right??). I imported them.
But how can I get them to be on the left of my screen. And I want the ease of just clicking on the star which was over the favorite places when I used Internet Explorer.

Please somebody tell me how I can always have my favorites on the screen at the same time as the website I'm using.

Now another question. Can a person switch back and forth from Internet Explorer to Mozilla. I know my husband won't like this because it doesn't show the favorite places.

Anybody know how I can achieve this?? Thanks so much.
And we'll find out if it stores passwords.

Thanks everybody.
