Signing out of Firefox

Firefox Confidentialité mpe bokengi

Hi all,

I use Firefox on a shared machine at my work (In China), yes no passwords / privacy etc. YAY! Long story - don't ask but I've tried to explain the various implications.

Anyway, I have signed into Firefox at work so I can sync my bookmarks, history etc. between home, mobile & work. However I don't really want others in my office poking through or adding stuff to my bookmarks and history when I'm not there, so I'd like to "sign out" of Firefox when I leave for the day.

Any suggestions? (other than setup up profiles & passwords)

Thanks, Tony.

Use the Disconnect feature in Sync.

Maybe consider to use the portable Firefox version.

The portable version comes with its own profile folder and doesn't interfere with the currently installed release version.
