I notice that whenever I start typing text into the serch-bar of Firefox 
(on my FreeBSD 9.3R daily-driver desktop system) it suggests completions 
for me, implying that Google has my identity pegged. I use TOR when 
surfing & followed the advice of a thread a few weeks ago about a FF 
setting to prevent those suggestions. I also have cron delete cookies & 
other cruft from the .mozilla directory nightly. How do they still have 
me ? TIA & have a good one.
