Hello
and thank You.
Thank you, this did help.
Two Questions more.
How can I find by terminal all dirt which is produced by browsers (Chrome,
Firefox, Midori ...)?
I did try something like cache, but there were no new files.
I think it would be easier to clear the cache and other data (possibly
including history if you wish) automatically when the browsers close. There
are usually settings available to do that.
See below.
How can I tell the browser (Firefox, Chrome and so on): Do not save any
information.
Example:
I do open www.hotmail.de, sending Emails, and close hotmail.
No there should be no information left on the pc abour hotmail. Only the
bookmark www.hotmail.de.
If you mean an actual bookmark, clearing the history will not remove this.
For Firefox:
Settings > Privacy and Security
- Delete cookies and site data when Firefox is closed
- History
-- Clear history when Firefox closes [Settings...]
There are options for what to clear if you click the "settings" button, such as
- browsing history
- cookies
- cache
So there seem to be two ways to clear cookies and site data when closing Firefox, but I'm
not sure if the options under History > Settings include all the "site data"
removed by the other setting.
Best wishes,
Gareth
Thank you.
Reards,

Hello
Any idea?
What did happen?
FF did open a page with bad PC,
so it needs 5 minutes to open it.
We killed the tab.
When we now try to open FF
whole PC is blocked.
How can we clean FF
because bad page is in it.
Regards

Did you try to start it from the commandline with the option safe-mode?
firefox --safe-mode
If the idea is to prevent previous tabs from opening on startup, that only
works for me if firefox is already running when I run
firefox --safe-mode
...which may not be possible for Sophie.
Removing the line:
user_pref("browser.startup.page", 3);
from
/home/username/.mozilla/firefox/XXX.default-esr/prefs.js
has the desired effect (where "XXX" is the appropriate string of letters and
numbers).
There may be more than one such profile directory, in which case, if other
users don't rely on tabs being restored, then remove that line from all the
XXX.whatever/prefs.js
files you can find.
It may also be necessary to add the line
user_pref("browser.sessionstore.resume_from_crash", false);
I don't know if the order of lines matters. In my prefs.js, this appears in
the sequence
user_pref("browser.search.region", "GB");
user_pref("browser.search.widget.inNavBar", true);
user_pref("browser.sessionstore.resume_from_crash", false);
when added from about:config, but the 2nd line is non-default as well as the
3rd, and these are only present if added manually or set in settings or
about:config, as appropriate.
Hope that helps
Gareth
You may also want to, in the context of your problem and what you seek, to
1.
(1) set Settings -> Privacy and Security -> Browser Privacy to Strict or
Custom, and
(2) view and consider the Cookies and Site Data settings, and,
(3) the History settings there, and,
(4) in Security, make sure that each of
Block dangerous and deceptive content
Block dangerous downloads
Warn you about unwanted and uncommon software,
is selected
and
2. In Tools -> Add-ons and Themes, search for, and install Bluhell
Firewall. If I find a URL to be blocked by that, if, and, only if, I
sufficiently trust the URL, I then open the URL in the Pale Moon web
browser, where I have, amongst other things, an ad-blocker installed.
