20+ Firefox 3 Security and Privacy Extensions
While Firefox is considered a safe browser by most people, it can never hurt to add more layers of security in this day and age. And while you’re at it, there are a number of ways to increase your privacy online. Here are over 20 extensions that can provide you with useful ways to protect yourself, your identity and your family on the Internet.
As with any list of Firefox tools, please do not install all of these at once unless you’d like to slow down your browser.
Privacy Browsing
> Click & Clean - Allows you to clean out your browser history with one click of a button in the toolbar.
> Close’n forget - Once you close a tab in Firefox it is immediately “forgotten” by the browser’s history.
> Distrust - Turn on Distrust while you surf, and when you turn it off it will delete all history and cookies that were collected during the time it was activated.
> FoxyHistory - Allows you to edit out just selected bits of your browser’s history.
> Stealther - Stealther temporarily disables your system keeping track of browsing history, cookies, disk cache, downloads, referrer header and saved form information.
> TrackMeNot - TrackMeNot hides your search history by randomly inserting search terms into search engines.
