Don't worry. After finishing up the installation, Firefox will ask you not only to import your favorites, but also to collect your passwords, cookies, settings, etc. from your previous browser.
I don't know if there exists such thing like "a perfect desktop for complete computer newbies". I think that in this case we all have to think about the consequences when a governement is launching such a project.
Computers can be "pre-installed", so that excludes the problem of installing software. Windows XP, Macintosh and Linux provide means for remote intervention.
This leaves the problem when we talk money. If all three systems qualify as decent systems than the Total Cost of Ownership makes the balance tip.
And no matter if you you like it or not, Linux is cheap to install and cheap to maintain. And you don't need a "brand-new-ultra-modern-speedy" pc, nope...you can have a nice workstation with a pentium 75. And they are cheap in purchase!!!
So, if you want to provide your population with pc's, I think that money IS an issue.
Well, if this is true that one can be accused of tresspassing a law in a country or state just by what this person is posting on local forums, well than I think we all should ask google to only allow Internet-friendly countries to it's magnificent log of all postings back till '81.
If you were a furious rebel in your childhood back than, you better watch out!
