How to launch Firefox automatically privately
it is always a good idea to follow good habits of online privacy, and one of them is to use "private mode" mode Alias incognito which is especially useful for users who use public computers such as those you find in Internet cafes, at your local library, or you share a PC.
Private mode or incognito mode is available on a number of browsers, including Firefox Safari and other major browsers - so try to make a habit of using this feature - just one of many tools you can use to ensure that your privacy is not compromised.
working with many browser tabs open at once?
If you, like I do, working with many browser tabs open at the same time you may find that the use of "private mode" (as explained above) n is not ideal because it does not retain the history of your online searches. But do not worry - because there is an add-on for this! Use an application such as Xmarks bookmarking Mozilla that backs up your Web searches in your Xmarks account.
- Set your home page to an IP checker website
It's a good idea to put your page Home to a website IP-checker to ensure your privacy is maintained. Use Hide My Ass! IP checker to confirm the location and ISP IP. HMA! IP checker also allows you to set an alarm, so if you change your IP address, the icon color changes!
You can hide your real IP address using a proxy or a VPN service such as HMA! Pro VPN and use the HMA! IP extension checker to confirm that the rest of the Internet sees only your new IP address.
- Disable script execution
JavaScript works across many websites but there will be a number of websites you can not be trusted. As JavaScript is used widely across the web, disabling, it can reduce the level of net functionality. Using NoScript lets you disable Java, Flash and other scripts on web sites you do not trust, and whitelist those you do. It is interesting to note that the use of NoScript will not encrypt your data, but it might stop malicious code running on your computer.
- Block ads
For those of you who like ads (anyone?), You will not need this adblocker. For most of us, we welcome with open arms AdBlock Plus. It is a fantastic extension that blocks ads, monitoring, and malware even YouTube and Facebook - and the best part, it's free! It has been downloaded by over 300 million people - Which illustrates quite well how annoying we find advertisements
