Security Tips for Firefox and TOR browser

One of the best browsers available for general purposes use is the Mozilla Firefox browser.

If you like your online privacy and security, you really must download the Tor browser version! See how to HERE

Even with the Tor browser, we can still add some extra safety tweaks to make it better.

To do this you need to open the menu (top right) and select Add-ons. (as alternative you can just type about:addons on the url part, it will bring up the same window).

Here we can search for extensions on the Mozilla browser, and there are very useful extensions we can get to get that extra layer of security and anonymity.

Iam going to suggest to you 5 essential extensions for your privacy and security.

1- Adblock Plus – This one is probably the most widely know security extension for Firefox, everyone uses it to block those annoying ads and pop up windows, it is important to get it, but there are a lot of other extensions you also need to use to keep your TOR browser completely safe.

 

2- Self-Destructing Cookies – This extension will automatically remove all the cookies for you

 

3- User-Agent Overrider – This is a simple tool, that allows you to change the user agent of your browser. The advantage of changing the user-agent is that when you browse some website they will believe you are using the browser you specify, for example you can use your Tor browser and emulate Google Chrome or the Iphone browser...

 

4- HTTPS Everywhere – This extension allows you to always navigate websites using HTTPS instead of normal HTTP which can prevent hackers from spying on your connection.

5- NoScript Security Suite – This add-on will disable all the scripts from untrusted websites. It is the best tool if you browse a lot of streaming and download websites, that fill you up with pop ups and stop you from closing tabs etc.
