The Secure Firefox tool allows you to easily configure Firefox to be more secure. When Firefox has saved sensitive passwords and you wish to keep them saved on your computer, you should enable the "Secure Firefox saved passwords with a Master Password" feature. When Firefox has saved sensitive form data and you wish prevent it from doing so in the future, you should disable the "Save information I enter in forms and the Search bar" feature. Firefox Saved Form data cannot be stored securely on your computer. There are two ways to access the Secure Firefox tool:
Click the Secure Firefox button on the Tools and Options ribbon.
Click the Application Menu button in the upper left corner of Identity Finder, then highlight Tools, then highlight and left-click "Secure Firefox Hidden Web Data..."
You can secure Firefox Saved Passwords with a Master Password that encrypts your entire password database. If you do this, all saved passwords will be secured. Simply enter a password and click OK. You may also select the "Securely store this password in your Password Vault". If you click Cancel, no passwords will be secured. After clicking OK, Identity Finder will apply the Master Password. Next time you open Firefox, it will prompt you for the password you entered via Identity Finder before letting you use Saved Passwords. If you forget your password, you will not be able to use Saved Passwords.
Note: Choose a strong password to be sure your data is safe.
Firefox Saved Form data cannot be stored securely on your computer so you should disable its ability to save form data. Simply disable (uncheck) the ability to save form data to secure Firefox. Next time you use Firefox, it will not save form data for future use. For example, when you are visiting a merchant's website and enter your personal information to make a purchase, Firefox will not save this information. The downside to this is you will need to retype your personal information every time you visit that site, but this is outweighed by the knowledge that no one can access your personal information via Firefox.
Note: This does not remove existing saved form data. Use the Shred Firefox Locations Tool for that.
