I have Ubuntu 14.04.2 installed on my 8 GB USB on an HP laptop with Windows 8.1 preinstalled.

How do I get Ubuntu to be able to save programs that I download, Firefox bookmarks, or anything else that I create? Do I have to install it to a partition or can I just have it on my USB?

I really wanted Ubuntu on a partition because I want more space. However, I don't know what to do. I tried searching for tutorials but wasn't able to find anything specifically matching what I'm looking for.

Not sure why the down vote. Use persistence - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCD/Persistence or install it to usb. IMO a full install is the better, more reliable option. – Panther Mar 20 '15 at 23:49
