Can't save from FireFox

I have an Asus 2G netbook; and have not been satisfied with the Xandros
Linux operating system that it contains. Have tried several options on
USB drives including severaal versions of Puppy Linux,
CrunchBaang Linux: http://crunchbanglinux.org/
and the new
Firefly Linux: http://linux.softpedia.com/get/Syste...ux-45496.shtml

The problem I am having is that FireFox is unable to save Bookmarks or
other such as I use it. Makes it hard to jump from Google to Webmail
(not Google) for example. Anyone have any ideas on this?
Puppy is perhaps the best but it does not have as good WiFi
connectivity as the others.
Thanks in advance
