How do you completely deactivate private browsing so no one can use it?

Is there a way that you can put a password on private browsing? Or is there a way to erase the private browsing completely so no one can use it? Or is there a way to view what has been searched under private browsing?

From resident expert - the-edmeister "No it can't be removed." He specifically warns against using a method suggested in Yahoo Answers which will break Firefox security features.
Depending on user skills e.g. if a child is over about 8 he can download and uninstall versions of any browser including another Firefox in no time flat. A password on your computer is about the only solution. There are ways around any method I've heard of.
If we are talking about children, the usual suggestion is to have them working(with headphones) near the family.
For more discussion try the Search Firefox Help box above.

    You don't want to try to launch your site to full screen,
    honest, as you'd
    drive your (potential) visitors away.

  • How do I know if private browsing is working? The purple mask does not appear when I click the mask icon. In my privacy settings "Never Remember" is selected.

    I'm trying to confirm private browsing is working. Right now I have no way of knowing if it is on or not. The purple mask ,referred to in help, does not appear when selected. I should say in my privacy settings, I have selected "Never Remember" for history.

    Do you mean you have checked the box: "Always use private browsing mode"? If so, it's intentional that the private browsing icon isn't displayed as we didn't want Firefox to be showing everyone within view that you're using private browsing mode IIRC.
    There are some easy things you can do to confirm that you are in private browsing mode such as visiting a new website and then confirming it doesn't appear in the history window.

  • Use of BAT file - How do you completely delete 150 phones and their associate DNs?

    How do you completely delete 150 phones and their associate DNs? All the phones are in the same device pool. I prefer BAT way.
    Version of the CUCM: 8.6.2
    Type of phones: 7962 phones - associated with the same device pool.
    Additinal questions: Is there a way to delete elegantly all the phones and their associated DNs when all the phones are associated to the same device pool? I rather not work with specific extensions and MAC addresses.
    Thank you,
    Calin Lupas

    Hi Calin,
    Using BAT this will require 2 - passes. 1 for the phones and 1 for "unassigned DN's". this is nicely shown in the attached doc;
    http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/voice_ip_comm/cucm/bat/8_0_1/bat-801-cm/t03delph.html#wp1342774
    Of course for the DN's you could delete them via the Route Plan report>Unassigned DN>select all>Delete
    Cheers!

    On a Mac, how do you export/download the browsing history (not bookmarks)? Thank you!

    You can't export the History in Firefox. It is possible to copy History items and paste them to a Bookmarks Folder and export the Bookmarks to an HTML or paste the history items to an HTML editor.

    I think I finally got rid of it.  I searched drive C for "beats" and "beat" and erased all of them that appeared to be related to Beats Audio.  I had to do that three times, each time deleting any Beats files tht showed up in a search.  Finally, after the third boot, nothing showed up in the search.  My audio is working just fine, and no more Beats Audio.  I imagine I could still run Beats through the motherboard but, as long as i don't try to run Beats, it's no longer automatically loading at boot.
    Thanks for your time.
