Private Mode For Firefox

As we have seen with the new Google’s Browser, which is called Chrome, a new interesting feature has come out of the box in the browsing world, and lately it has been integrated in Firefox as well, starting from version 3.1

It is called “Private Browsing mode, where all user activity traces including history, cache, download history, saved passwords, searches, cookies, and others, are removed as soon as the user returns to normal browsing mode”, as Percy Cabello for Mozilla Links says in the latest article.

This new mode, will be easy to activate by clicking a button into the Tools menu: this will require a confirmation and, after the browser has restarted, you will be able to surf the web, without leaving any trace on the host PC.

    Restart Firefox to use Private Browsing? That makes the feature almost useless.
