Mozilla Firefox

I've had to change to Firefox from IE. I'm not overly keen at the moment, but this is because I was so used to IE. I do need some help though with certain things. So I just have a few questions:

1) How do you set a Homepage?
2) In IE you have tabs (where you can have a few pages open at the same time) can you do this on Firefox?
3) Does it have a Favorites option?
4) Can you put Google Toolbar on it?

These are the things I was used to on IE so would like to have them back as I cannot use IE anymore. Thanks.

You might also want to try Opera from Opera browser: Home page

All browsers have their own quirks, its about finding teh one that fits how your brain works. I use Opera on Linux at home and Windows at work. It has lots of neat trick and treats and seems to fit my brain.
