How to Change Privacy in Mozilla Firefox
The Mozilla Firefox browser keeps track of the websites you visit and the cookies, or bits of data, it accepts. If you use Firefox on a computer while not at home (such as while at work), you may want to change the privacy settings. By doing so, you can determine when your browsing history will be deleted (if at all) and limit the information Firefox accepts.
