I have two computers, one with xp and one with win 7. On the xp I open my browser and am ready to go. I click gmail and my mail opens. ON win 7 I have to sign in to personalize igHome and then have to sign to gmail to get mail.

As the case with everybody I am not too sharp with computers.

Any help or advise?

First you need set Firefox to remember history, then you need allow Firefox to store the passwords:
