Avoid a Google Browser Sync startup bug with Firefox
Putting Firefox in an encrypted disk image still leaves your passwords unencrypted in a file in your home directory. Adding a master password in FF encrypts those on disk.
Indeed, a non-hint
Encrypting the Firefox application itself does nothing. As the above poster mentions, Firefox stores your settings--including passwords--in your home directory, no matter where you run it from.

Not much of a problem. Move the ~/Library/Application Support/Firefox directory to the encrypted drive and then symbolic link (ln -s source target) it from there back to its original position. Now all the bookmarks, prefs and whatever will only be accessible while the encrypted drive is mounted.

Thanks, folks. Part of the beauty of this site is the part where you correct my hint or point out things I hadn't thought of yet -- I appreciate it! |
