You can set parameters from tools/options/ privacy to clear whatever you
want when turning Firefox off. For instance I clear everything but saved
passwords. When you do that you need to set cookie exceptions for
cookies that you need to run certain software. You can also see when a
site is trying to set a cookie and decide weather or not you want to
allow it. Beware of tracking cookies from sites like coremetrics that
try to hitch a ride.
Thats all for now.

I would suggest a more secure method for you passwords.

Wally,
Originally this message was intended to go out on email only but
apparently I messed up and sent it to rec.boats too. No harm done. You
guys have got me interested in learning about password managers, although
I don't see, right now, what advantage they offer over the way Firefox
manages passwords and user names.
Thanks,
Jim


I do quite a bit of Internet buying. RoboForm stores all your pertinent
information such as name, billing address, mailing address, credit card
info, etc. When doing an online purchase and I get to the point in the
process where this information is required, one click and the information is
filled in by RoboForm.

When going to a web site that requires logon information, I click on a
RoboForm link and the site is opened and I'm logged in all with a single
click.

When I start my day I check 11 different financial web sites where I have
accounts. RoboForm makes the task extremely quick with a single click to
open each account.

Not for everyone, for me it's great.
