What Is It?

Clear Private Data is a Firefox Add-on that provides a toolbar button, a Tools Menu Option and a Hotkey to clear private data. It uses the standard Firefox Private Data functions which can be accessed through the Tools_Options menu and selecting the privacy tab. However, it gives much quicker access and the ability to clear user set options at the click of a single toolbar button.

Why Would You Want It?

There are many reasons why you may want to clear private data and the ability to do it quickly and easily is a bonus. I won’t go into the reasons some are perfectly legitimate and some not so.

However, a word of warning to anyone who thinks this will completely cover their tracks, it won’t,  You will need to take other measures to remove all information from your PC which may be held in all sorts of different places and in files that, although deleted, can be recovered.

But, apart from the obvious privacy aspects there are other things you can do with it that are very useful.
