There is a program called TENS (Attached image) that is used by the Dept. of War that was developed by USAF. I would love to have a Firefox version that does the same thing on a bootable flash drive. I would use this only for banking, medical, IRS, SSA, etc. I am sure others would like it for different reasons, so include a statement to users that IP only log file is generated and state that this is for security/quality control/legal accountability of Firefox purposes and that this data is saved on your server.

I thought Firefox was all about controlling personal info. Seems not. I find nothing in the GUI to turn off the location country flag in the address bar. I have no care to know where any site is located and neither do I wish anyone to know where I am. Can I remove the location country flag feature in the address bar and be sure nobody sees where I am?
