How to delete cookies automatically in Mozilla Firefox

Tired of running CCleaner, to delete cookies in Mozilla Firefox? Well, there is a special addon for Firefox users, to delete cookies automatically or manually.


Better Privacy serves to protect against special longterm cookies, a new generation of 'Super-Cookie', which silently conquered the Internet. This new cookie generation offers unlimited user tracking to industry and market research. Concerning privacy Flash-cookies are most critical.

This add-on was made to make users aware of those hidden, never expiring objects and to offer an easier way to view and to manage them - since browsers are unable to do that for you.

Flash-cookies (Local Shared Objects, LSO) are pieces of information placed on your computer by a Flash plug-in. Those Super-Cookies are placed in central system folders. They are frequently used like standard browser cookies. Although their thread potential is much higher as of conventional cookies, only few users began to take notice of them.

BetterPrivacy allows to list and manage Flash-cookies, e.g. to remove those objects automatically on browser start, browser exit or by a configurable timer function while certain desired Flash cookies can be excluded from automatic deletion. So this extension becomes sort of "install and forget add-on". Usually automatic deletion is safe (no negative impact on your browsing), especially if the deletion timer is activated. The timer can delay automatic deletion for new or modified Flash-cookies which might be in use. It also allows to delete those objects immediately if desired. Users who wish to to manage all Flash-cookies manually can disable the automatic functions or exclude certain Flash-cookies from automatic deletion.



 Add this to your Firefox here.

How to clean cached DNS entries

Every time you visit a website, your computer requests IP address for the website from your default DNS server. Then it caches them locally on your computer for some time to speed up the web access. If the IP address is cached, your computer doesn't have to request the IP address for some website anymore. And that leaves a trace. Even in private browsing.

You can check them if you type ipconfig /displaydns in the command line (CMD)





Cleaning them is really easy. Just type ipconfig /flushads in the command line.

You can make a batch file to clean them faster:

Open Notepad, and type:
@echo off
ipconfig /flushdns

Save the file as .bat and run it.
