Besides the usual stuff (adblock plus, noscript) etc etc.. Here's one which i think is important for security/privacy

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/4429

"A login extension similar to Opera's Wand login.

It uses the built-in password manager, but deactivates the prefilling of login forms.

Instead, you are now able to login with one click or a keyboard shortcut (ALT+N - changeable via settings).

Just add the Secure Login toolbar button to your toolbar, or use the provided statusbar icon.

If you hover over one of the icons, a tooltip is shown, displaying the login url and the number of available logins (users).

For more than one user or login forms on the current page a selection prompt is displayed on login.

You have the option to play sound notifications (*.wav) for found login data on the current page or when logging in.

All the options can be changed using the Secure Login settings page. The settings page can be opened via the Secure Login tools menu, the Secure Login statusbar icon context menu or via the list of installed extensions.

Secure Login provides you with a number of Security enhancements and helps protecting you from phishing:

Disabling the prefilling of login forms prevents malicious JavaScript code to automatically steal your login data.

This is due to the fact that no login data is inserted in form fields before the user clicks on the login button or logs in using the keyboard shortcut.

To make sure you login to the right website, the second level domain of the login url is compared to the second level domain of the current page.

If they do not match a dialog prompt is displayed before login.

Secure Login provides you with an optional setting to protect you from all JavaScript code during login.

This can prevent cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks without having to deactivate JavaScript completely.

If you enable this option, your login data will never be inserted in any form fields nor will the login form be submitted.

Instead your credentials will be sent to the login page using internal Firefox methods.

Not all login forms will work this way, e.g. not those using JavaScript routines. Therefore, you can add such websites to an exception list."

Given the recent concern over firefox's password manager, this little extension bypasses some of the problems

well so far all i pretty much use is...

-NoScript (main flaw with this is it requires configuring but it's quick to configure on a per site basis. but for average joe this probably aint for them since it's probably a little to technical... although this would offer extra protection from malicious activity)

-AD Block Plus (this is pretty much a must for people who dont like popups/ads etc)

-TabScroller (to sum it up it can be configured to hold down right mouse button and the scroll with mouse to switch tabs :), takes a while to get used to be saves time if you tend to have many tabs open.)

Theme:

Vista Black 1.0

Extensions:

Fasterfox

FoxyTunes

FoxyTunes SKin - OnyxOrbs

ForecastfoxI10n

IE Tab

IE View

Informational Tab

Live IP Address

New Tab Button on Tab Bar

Router Status

Save Image In Folder

ScrapBook

Don't mean to be a stickler but doesn't this setting handle this without the need for force quit?

I'm in the process of slimming my addon usage down in transition to Firefox 3b2 and spreading it across a couple of profiles, like one for web development and the other for general surfing.

    • A shame it don't allow people to bypass the MS account, I will stick to using Rufus.
    • Microsoft about to radically change how often your Edge browser updates by Paul Hill Microsoft has just announced that starting with Edge 152, it will be moving to a two-week release cycle for faster, smaller updates. This faster release cadence will begin on August 27. This change comes just several months after Microsoft switched Visual Studio Code to weekly updates. The company said that the Extended Stable releases will remain on an eight-week cycle and that no admin changes are needed to experience the faster release cycle on the Stable channel. The new two-week release cycle will enable the faster delivery of security updates and platform improvements, all while reducing the size and complexity of individual updates. Microsoft claims that organizations will benefit from this change as it offers predictable validation cycles. For organizations that prefer a “more deliberate pace”, the Extended Stable channel remains an option. This change will affect Edge Stable releases on Windows, macOS, Linux, and mobile. The Extended Stable channel will continue to be updated every eight weeks, or every fourth Stable release, for example: versions 152, 156, 160, and 164. The Extended Stable could be a good option for organizations that don’t want the latest updates twice a month and don’t want as much hassle constantly updating browsers. In the case of Visual Studio Code, many of the updates being pushed by Microsoft are AI-related. As we all know, Microsoft Edge has a lot of AI features, so we could see Microsoft pushing more AI, thanks to the faster cycles. On the flip side, quicker releases could mean faster security updates, which is beneficial in a world where AI systems are hunting for software exploits. What do you think? Let us know in the comments. Source: Microsoft 365 Admin Center
    • not yet, because at the moment it is not a threat to MS, if and I mean if it did become a threat to MS Office, then it may be a different thing. MS don't like competition
    • Zen Browser 1.21b by Razvan Serea Zen Browser is a privacy-focused, open-source web browser built on Mozilla Firefox, offering users a secure and customizable browsing experience. It emphasizes privacy by blocking trackers, ads, and ensuring your data isn't collected. With Zen Mods, users can enhance their browser experience with various customization options, including features like split views and vertical tabs. The browser is designed for efficiency, providing fast browsing speeds and a lightweight interface. Zen Browser prioritizes user control over the browsing experience, offering a minimal yet powerful alternative to traditional web browsers while keeping your online activity private. Zen Browser’s DRM limitation Zen Browser currently lacks support for DRM-protected content, meaning streaming services like Netflix and HBO Max are inaccessible. This is due to the absence of a Widevine license, which requires significant costs and is financially unfeasible for the developer. Additionally, applying for this license would require Zen to be part of a larger company, similar to Mozilla or Brave. Therefore, DRM-protected media won't be supported in Zen Browser for the foreseeable future. Zen Browser offers features that improve user experience, privacy, and customization: Privacy-Focused: Blocks trackers and minimizes data collection. Automatic Updates: Keeps the browser updated with security patches. Zen Mods: Customizable themes and layouts. Workspaces: Organize tabs into different workspaces. Compact Mode: Maximizes screen space by minimizing UI elements. Zen Glance: Quick website previews. Split Views: View multiple tabs in the same window. Sidebar: Access bookmarks and tools quickly. Vertical Tabs: Manage tabs vertically. Container Tabs: Separate browsing sessions. Fast Profile Switcher: Switch between profiles easily. Tab Folders: Organize tabs into folders. Customizable UI: Personalize browser interface. Security Features: Inherits Firefox’s robust security. Fast Performance: Lightweight and optimized for speed. Zen Mods Customization: Deep customization with mods. Quick Access: Easy access to favorite websites. Open Source: Built on Mozilla Firefox with community collaboration. Community-Driven: Active development and feedback from users. GitHub Repository: Contribute and review the source code. Zen Browser 1.21b changelog: New Features Updated to Firefox 151.0.4 Added 'Space Routing', a new feature that allows you to route links to a specific Space. To get started, click on the three dots in your Space name and click on 'Space Routing Settings'. Fixes Fixed extension-opened tabs not being created with the correct container (#14100) Fixed a bug with the Boosts editor having the wrong theme colors (#14099) Improved overflowing space icons being inaccessible and improved the feeling when hovering over them (#13747) Other minor bug fixes and improvements Download: Zen Browser | 89.8 MB (Open Source) Download: Zen Browser ARM64 | Other Operating Systems View: Zen Browser Home Page | Screenshots 1 | 2 | Reddit Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
    • I am currently using a 4tb stick in combination with a 4tb 9100 Pro. It's only been six months since I bought them but the 990 has already dropped 1% health. Fingers crossed it doesn't go any lower.
