Hmm, that's interesting. I've used firefox before, and it just seems to cause a lot of privacy problems. There are just too many options, and even though I thought I had all my bases covered, and I think I did at least some of what you are saying, my browsing was still not private.
The new browser for macs sucks. I'm sure there are people all over the world who are getting into trouble with family, etc, over this. I guess they thought they were doing us a favor or something, making it so much more user friendly? When you click on file<new tab? It brings up a screen shot of all the sites you've visited! And a few times, I've told it to turn on private browsing, but sometimes sites that I do not want others to see still show up. Granted, I'm usually the only person who uses this computer, but still . . . . It even showed my gmail window! No, you cannot read the whole email, but you can see the first few lines.
Now, just imagine all the men out there, getting busted by their wives and gf's who click on "new tab" and find some subversive sex site. ack!
Thanks for the firefox info. Maybe it will help others, but I didn't have much luck with it. Might be a mac vs pc thing, though.
Have a good one.
