hahahahaha anonymous is absolutely correct…. the true intentions behind this are so obvious and simple, the techies and office workers reasons for usage are ludicrous and make for a good read on their blogs

private browsing was designed exclusively for browsing porn

up until I upgraded my standard Firefox version to 3.5, I always cleared Firefox, history, cache, and cookies on closing…and this was done automatically. And now, in 3.5, you can still do that, interface has been changed a bit for that feature…but they have added “Private Browsing” which keeps the stuff off the hard drive altogether. Slightly better…and as for the person that commented about viruses and spyware…this has almost [i]nothing[/i] to do with Firefox. A cookie or java or javascript event [i]might[/i] act as a kind of spyware…and can even possibly cause a file to be downloaded onto your computer, which said file can contain a virus. But don’t allow Firefox to automatically download files, and that last problem is solved. And the other ones would be solved by clearing your data…most spyware or viruses are from programs and files that you [i]download[/i] which firefox provides no protection against in any version outside of what i just mentioned about automation.

Private Browsing for me is a way to keep spyware and viruses (and botnets) from sneaking onto my computer. If a virus sneaks into my registry or system files without the sandbox, clearing Firefox’s history will not remove it. Sandboxing is not a guarantee that you will not need security software, but it is my first line of defense.
