Scola, I have no suggestions (Although I like the "here, have some photos" subtitle), but I wanted to share my "damn, but he can take photos" reaction.
Right. Piano. Because that's what we used to kill that big demon that one time. No, wait. That was a rocket launcher.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

let me ask you a question, what is your intent for using Pages?
Illicit? I kid. But what kinds of things do you want to do.
PORN! Oh, wait . . .
I want some sort of word processing program and Pages works with iCloud, so I can work on my PC and the iPad. There are probably other programs that do this as well, no?

My wife's computer died yesterday and we replaced it immediately last night (a $500 Lenovo with an i5 processor and 4GB of RAM expandable to 8GB which I'll be doing once I know if its 4GB is 2GB x 2 or 4GB x 1).
I have to say I really appreciate how easy it is to restore Firefox and Thunderbird to be exactly the same as it was on the old computer. Nice job, Mozilla, nice job.

Does this include bookmarks, and if so, how?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Desktop computer, Gud?
I'm so startled by the fact I could get my father and sister all the laptop they needed for under $600 each. I told my father a million times he doesn't really need (and maybe not even want) a laptop (my sister definitely needs the mobility), but at $500, I was like "Fine, I'll endorse this, and it's something I can slip in my backpack at under 6lbs and bring back home."
But, seriously, laptop for that little? Reputable brands? Decent specs? WTF?
And yet, when this Macbook gives up the ghost, I will pay through the nose for another one.
And my tablet cost about the same, and my phone more.
Does this include bookmarks, and if so, how?
Yes--do you have explicitly have to have set up some synchronisation with the cloud? I know Opera lets you do a fair amount of that, but not entirely.
LH or Giz had an article about the hoops to jump through to synch your desktop bookmarks with your mobile device, and it seemed overwhelming. Opera can't be the only people that provide cloud synch. But they were counting only Chrome and FF, and it seemed too much fuss.

Laptop computer.
Does this include bookmarks, and if so, how?
Yep, it also includes your extensions and even your currently open tabs. But this is for moving things to a new computer as opposed to syncing.
Generally speaking, you'd go to C:/Users/AppData/Roaming/Mozilla/Firefox/Profiles and then move the folder there to the same place on the new computer. (You can get there directly by using Windows Key + R and enter %APPDATA% that includes the '%'s)
Then press, with FireFox not running, the Windows Key + R and enter 'firefox.exe -P'. That brings up the ProfileManager for Firefox. Create a new profile with whatever name you like and tell it to use an existing folder. When it prompts for the folder to use, point it to the folder that you moved. Then make sure the new profile is selected and click 'Exit'.
Firefox now is exactly the same as on the other computer. Hmmm... it sounds more complicated when I write it out like that, but it really isn't very difficult.

Okay, so you need to not have had a data issue with the former install. That is more in line with what I was thinking.
Is that a publicised solution, Gud, or something that it took techies to figure out?
