website says they would be in ~/.mozilla/ . What does the ~ stand for?
~ = your users home directory, usually /home/<username>
just enter in a console: $ cd ~ and you are there
all files and folders starting with a . in their name are hidden by ls
or something else in Linux.
and in deed, in ~/.mozilla is everything ... configuration, you files,
bookmarks, ....
I'll give that a try. I looked at the man pages but if anything they give you way the heck too much information. I was sort of drowning.
3) I've figured out how to mount the vfat drive partitions so Linux can
access them. How do I make this happen automatically at start-up?
you have to do 2 things if you want this. i don't know how good you are in the console, ... but anyway ... there are automatic configuration utilities, but you don't need such things in general.
open a console $> su - <enter you root password> some distribution need you to be in the wheel group. well .. if it doesn't work, try to log in as root directly ... edit this file: /etc/fstab there are already some entries, e.g. "/" for you main filesystem add a new line for you vfat partition and the mountpoint
and the important thing is, that by default "root" mounts this vfat
partition at boot time ... so, these files only have read/write
permissions for root, not for every user (security, because fat32 does
not have user right management .... )
in the options column also enter this: umask=0
this unmasks all files for all users
save /etc/fstab after editing and type $> mount -a then the vfat should be mounted and r/w-able for all users
