i used ~ in the script, so it is current user specific. if you get results
as root, then stop running firefox as root. every website you browse will
have root access to your machine.

i'm curious to hear some individual experiences, or modifications you would
suggest to the script.

personally, i had flash cookies from websites that i was unaware of
visiting...
