If you just want purely random passwords, though, you might try

distinguishable, memorable passwords instead of truly random ones.

If I double click on a directory icon I go into that directory and I

Click the little [+] icon to the left of the directory icon.

I don't play music very much on the computer, so I'm new to this

RhythmBox has a problem. Press Play to begin playing a CD. Press Play
again to Pause. Press Play again to resume playing. Nothing happens.

When you open a PDF in Iceweasel, either by clicking a link or opening a
file, it renders the PDF right inside the browser instead of bringing it
up in Document Viewer.
