Firefox Private Browse the web without saving information about the sites you visit

Firefox Private Browsing
Sometimes you need to do private browsing, you do not wish others who are using your computer to see your stuff. The reason can be anything. either sites that you visit are confidential (relating to your business) or may be too personal that should not be viewed by others. It may become tedious task to
delete your browsing data every time. For an example; if you have browsed for more than 4 hours and you want to delete all that history, either you will have to delete history of that entire day or you will have to see for all the websites that you have visited and delete them one by one from History. Both the situations are not feasible right? So what else you can do?  You can use Private Browsing Option in Firefox.

Recovering Deleted Files, Pictures & Videos

  So many times we accidently delete some important files, pictures or videos. Sometimes we loose files because of unexpected system failure  ( ultimately causing system format). We can get our deleted files back using Recovery Softwares/Utilities.  Even though a file was deleted there is a good chance that contents of the file are still around.  When a file is deleted the contents of the file are not removed.
