Bookmarks are the term that Mozilla Firefox uses for shortcuts to webpages that you would like to remember.

Whereas, Favorites are the term adopted by Microsoft’s Internet Explorer for the same purpose.

When you are on a website which you think you may want to revisit later on, you simply click on the Bookmarks or Favorites menu (at the top of the window), and click the “Bookmark this page” (for Firefox) or “Add to Favorites…” (for Internet Explorer). Later on, when you want to revisit the same site, just click on the respective menu, and click on the link found there and your web browser will bring you back to that site/page.

If you have problem in reliably double clicking files, emails, programs, etc.

If you have multiple media players such as Windows Media Player, WinAmp, QuickTime, RealPlayer, etc on your system, you may like to control which launches when you want to play a particular type of file for example audio files (mp3) as against video files (avi).

The way to go about it is to set file associations in the various players. But I suggest you de-select the file type in the program it currently launches before selecting it in the one you want. In Windows Media Player 11, for instance, select Tools > Options > File Types tab. Uncheck (if you do not want Windows Media Player to play) or check (if you do) such options as mp3.
