I am getting a new machine at the office. They only support moving Explorer information, so I am on my own to move all my saved Firefox information. How do I save this stuff so that I can put it back when I install firefox on my new machine?

I just downloaded GIMP (GNU Image Manipulation Program) and was looking for some cool/fun things to do to help start learning how to use the program. I’m also trying to make a couple logos, for my band and stuff, so things involving that.

Lately when I’m editing stuff in Firefox, be it an email or something else and I type something and want to undo with the delete button, suddenly without warning instead of deleting its like I clicked the back button several times and all my work is lost! Is there some way to prevent this from happening? Its not only annoying but enraging! Sometimes the text I am typing loses the cursor before this happens – no blinking I-Bar and I can’t seem to get it back. This is on a Macintosh with Snow Leopard.

GNU C Compiler not working
Hey guys. So I downloaded Linux just for the heck of it and decided I would try to learn some C in my spare time. So I found a tutorial, and the first code they told me to do was this:
Code:

#include <stdio.h>

int main()
{
printf( "I am alive! Beware.\n" );
getchar();
return 0;
}

So I copied it into gedit and saved it as "hello.c". Then I followed the instructions and opened up the Terminal and typed this:
Code:

gcc hello.c

And this happens
Code:

sam@sam-desktop:~$ gcc hello.c
sam@sam-desktop:~$

But when I go back to the file and screw it up by randomly erasing characters, it tells me what I did wrong.

I have no idea why this won’t work. I also am pretty bad at some of this complexer stuff (to me it’s complex) and anywhere I look online elsewhere people talk as if everybody knows how to do these things.

I have been programming in Visual C++, Dev C++ and other windows versions of code. I heard about the open source community and really like Knoppix and devices like Freenas and would like to begin making my transition into compiling and coding from within Linux, using the Gnu compiler stuff where should I begin looking?

I have a database full of adverts of stuff that people want to give away for free, however these ads needs to be vetted by an administrator now before publishing as some people advertise services and for sale stuff on their, I am really quite new to PHP and MySQL, so please give detaied instructions, please? Thanks

i want to use linux OS and other open source software in my business?

I am making a profile on a facebook application, but I don’t know much about html. I experimented by looking at the page source and found this:

<br /></div>
<br />
<br /></table>
<br /><div style="background-color: Black;">
<br /><center>
<br /><center><font size="4" color="white" font=”impact”><table style="background: transparent url("http://i532.photobucket.com/albums/ee329/siva0eminencija/untitled-1.jpg") repeat scroll 0% 0%;" valign="center" border="0" width="620" height="600"><td>

along with a bunch of other stuff. when i entered it into my profile it worked, my background became black. however, i’d like to use a background image from a url instead of just the black background? is that possible? also, is some part of this code unnecessary such as the "br"s? what do all the parts mean and how can i change them. thanks

I’m looking for a firefox add on that has a panel similar to Internet Explorer (with history and favorites). I don’t need a whole bunch of extra stuff, just a panel on the side with these links.
Thanks!
