Here i have a small trick to make firefox more secure,for me it is a new
experience so i wish to share it with you.
if you have an opened ff close it via , file->quit
open terminal and type: firefox -p
add a new profile and start FF.
quit FF and cd to : /home/$USER/.mozilla/firefox
then: vi profiles.ini
you can see : [profile x] tag
place the flag: default=1 in a profile which you wish to open as default
then open terminal and type: firefox -p <your personal profile name>
go to: http://nic-nac-project.de/~kaosmos/profilepassword-en.html
you get an extenstion to set profile passwords , install it . then go to
tools->profile passwords set a password.but i can't say we can trust that
extension.
then you can launch firefox : firefox -p <profile name>
then FF will ask you for password.you required to enter correct password to
launch FF.but anyone sharing your account can use the default profile and
cant use your personal profile.
