In belief of a better experience with the internet, I have jsut installed firefox, and it is excellent, but how do I get my favourites in a little window down the side of the screen like in IE? Also is the security just as good and is it ok for it to store my passwords?

You have to use Ctrl+B to show up the Bookmarks-pane.

I believe passwords are stored properly encrypted, but I'm not 100% sure.

right click somewhere on top and go to "customise" then you can add the bookmarks button on the toolbar, when you press it they come out.... if that's what you mean

Thanx KeyStorm, this is exactly what I meant.

passwords ARE encrypted properly.


i think its md5, but i don't know

md5 is a one-way encryption, so you wouldn't be able to retrieve the password once it's encrypted...

exactly, so passwords are not properly ecrypted/saved.

The best way of store your passwords is remembering them. If you can't do that, be sure noone uses your account (supposing you're in windows xp, not 98).

That's not really encryption, that's a hashing algorithm.
The encryption is probably something like RSA or similar, probably also 128-bit.
