Welcome back to the Firefox 101 Series.
Privacy is important and you want to make sure you had your Firefox settings work for you. First go to tools and then options. The security section allows you to choose to be alerted if your site tries to install an add-on on your computer without your permission. It will tell you if the site you're on is suspect to attack site and if it is suspected of forgery. If you want to check up all of these options and then choose websites to make it exceptions for you can do that as well.
You can also choose to have password remember or sites and again choose to make exceptions if needed. You can also choose a master password which will protect your sensitive password even more. Here you can choose to receive a warning when visiting specific types of websites.
In the privacy section you can choose to have Firefox store your browsing history for specific amount of days, remember information you type in the forms on websites and into the search box and to remember what you’ve downloaded. Uncheck any of these boxes if you don’t want Firefox to remember your history. You can also choose to have Firefox accept cookies in third party cookies from sites.
Storing a cookie allows a website to store a small unique text file on your computer so that when you return to the site a few weeks later it will recognize your computer. You can choose to allow or block cookies from specific websites by entering in the URL here and choose how long Firefox should store the cookies.
You can also remove cookies from certain sites or remove all cookies stored on your computer. You can also have Firefox clear all of your private data whenever you close Firefox which is a good idea if you're using a shared computer or you can have Firefox ask every time if it just clear your private data.
Remember there are ten parts to these series so don’t forget to check out the other episodes in the Firefox 101 series.
