Firefox security settings and add-ons
Yeah I know there's a very long similar thread, except being new to Firefox I am only interested in security add-ons and the various settings to use with Firefox overall. The other various add-ons, while I'm sure are useful, at this point I just want to make the most of Firefox. So far I love it and wish I would have left IE a long time ago. Thanks

NOTE: NoScript is at 1.8 now. Hopefully, others will soon offer their advice as well. |

Re: Firefox security settings and add-ons
Thanks, thats a good start. In tools/options/advanced/encryption, I haven't figured out what that does yet, even after reading the help file. Anything of use there or is it all automatic?

I believe they refer to secure protocols used by bank sites etc. Please someone correct me if I am wrong. |

Re: Firefox security settings and add-ons
flyted,
ThunderZ is correct. Mostly default, automatic settings in the Encryption tab yet make sure that both Use SSL 3.0 and Use TTL 1.0 are checked. Also, under the Certificates section > When a server requests my personal certificate: the Ask me every time option should be selected. Transport Layer Security, from Wikipedia |

Re: Firefox security settings and add-ons
Hi, with Opera there was a setting to "Turn off Referrer" I can find addons for FF that allow right click open site without referrer, but I can't find a simple on/off for referrer info. Anybody found one? Thanx
Edit: Would you believe it, the very next one I try after posting has this feature, so in case anyone else is interested https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/953
