Secure Login(Firefox Extension)

Log in with one click using the Secure Login Extension by Sebastian Tschan

This addon is similar to the Opera Wand extension but better. You can login with one click and it deactivates the prefilling of login forms. Which means better security. It works especially well with multiple user logins. A prompt is displayed, you select the appropriate login ID and it automatically will log on.
When a login page is accessed a gold key appears on your status bar or customize and place it on your toolbar.

Its Official Firefox 2.0 Is Released

Posted on October 24, 2006 by TechTweaker.

Now is the time to download Firefox 2.0 the official release. Firefox is my primary browser. In my honest opinion it is superior to the new IE7. For one it starts faster, pages load faster and it takes seconds to download and install the new version. Unlike IE7 which takes 2 restarts to fully install. The Firefox install process doesn’t need a restart, you can use it right away.

You can add useful add-ons like Forecast Fox Enhanced, or IE Tab which allows access to the BNSF Emulator.
It has a new look. It’s security is superior to IE7. IE7 already has vulnerabilities from the very day it was released.
Firefox has a lot to offer. Try it out. I especially recommend that you browse the many Add-ons here: Firefox Add-ons

Here are just a few highlights of Firefox 2.0 from the official site:

Enjoy a Better Web Experience

Torpark: Tweaked Firefox allows anonymous websurfing

A tweaked version of Firefox that makes Web browsing anonymous has been released by a group of privacy-minded coders.

Every few minutes, the Torpark browser causes a computer’s IP address to appear to change. IP addresses are numeric identifier given to computers on the Internet. The number can be used along with other data to potentially track down a user, as many Web sites keep track of IP addresses.
