Using FireFox

I have few questions..

1. If wanted to go on two different sites at the same time, how do I open another webpage so they will be under the tabs by just using 1 browser?
2. And where am I supposed to go in order to remember my log in name only? not password or anything else..just the log in name so I wont have to keep putting in my e-mail on hotmail and other sites everytime I open a new browser.
3. I have IE as my default browser, but where do I go in order to change and make the FF as default?

 

In additon to JrViejo useful links i recommand this addon.It should make the transition easier.

Also when u install FF it has the option to became the default browser.

 

Middle clicking a link in the tab bar will open a new tab.Under Tools - Options - Tabs you can tick "When I open a link in a new tab switch to it immediately" if you want that option.

You can set FF as default through Programs Access and Defaults.

Under Tools - Options - Security you can untick "Remember passwords for sites".Double left clicking in the login name box should bring up your login name?

 

What do you mean by check to see if FF is the default browser on start up? does that mean that some message will check and will pop up saying FF is the default browser everytime when I turn on my computer or something?

 

Also:

ctrl + T new tab
ctrl + W close tab

and take a look at the New Tab Homepage extension....
