p.s. Sorry i forgot to change the "Re:"I have also used all those application
you mention for security, The only workable, to block this spying is in the
dedicated hardware firewall(s) i'll be deploying, very soon.
Note my main issue with this version of firefox is it's refusal to let you
store passwords locally, and aggressive resistance to not using or using
anything other than google's Cloud.
I want local control, I shouldn't have to learn about firefox's/chrome's
database contents, and i am already somewhat familiar with profiles. I have
created multiple profiles and restored them after playing with about:config,
which was previously THE place for these configuration, which are now largely
irrelavent to actual implementation. Even the Sites I've don't have any
information about most of those constants that no longer have meaning or many,
many whole sections in about:config. I understand how complicated browsers
have always been, but firefox was previously well documented on mozilla.org
etc., where as now nearly all the information they do supply ignores user's
question and brings up pages of obsolete and long incorrect information while
providing NO on these privacy issues and how to address them.
