Firefox Lets You Get Away With Murder

The "computer investigator" from the Orlando Sheriffs department done fucked up.

When they searched her computer, they only searched the Internet Explorer history, but Casey Anthony was using the Firefox to Google about how to suffocate people.

    Please let the record show that you need to be pretty stupid to have to Google "fool-proof suffication (sic)," even if you're not conspiring to murder someone.

    Doesn't matter now, though, due to double jeopardy. Though I suppose it could be used in a civil suit.

    I think this just means investigators will start looking through every browser from now on. Which is an even better reason to clear your cache regularly.

    Or use Incognito mode (or equivalent), which clears your cache automatically.

    Using private browsing modes for illicit activity, and knowing that IE is not the only browser around, are both pretty basic skills. That's why this is a huge facepalm. It's incompetence meets even greater incompetence. They might as well just play Yakety Sax through the made-for-TV movie of this murder.

    Proxy to Google. Browse porn.

    If I was searching for that I'd use TOR just to be safe

    When I was visiting Silk Road (just looking around. It's kind of fascinating) I booted into a secure linux distro (that uses incognito Firefox and TOR for all traffic), used a throwaway email address and random passwords, did a cash deposit for bitcoin, and generated a new PGP key for any communication. That was just basic stuff.

    I like TOR but whenever I've tried going on 4chan with it I could never post anything because the damn pedos always got the IP's banned beforehand. I was only on /k/ but I'm sure it doesn't matter what board you're on.

    What the fuck are you even doing that you're using TOR for 4chan?

    Moot bans TOR exit nodes on sight, as well as most proxies.

    I was just trying to see if I could use TOR as a regular browser and decided to go on /k/. I wasn't using it for the explicit purpose of 4chan.

    Really? That sucks. I mean I don't go on there enough for it to matter all that much but I'd really like to be able to use proxies with everything if I could. If I could be bothered to try it, that is.

    You bought bitcoins just to "look around?" ~_^

    Everyone knows if you want to know how to kill someone you Google it using Chrome incognito mode.
  • trogdor9trogdor9
    I don't usually find myself in situations where I need to do Web searches on how to kill people, but Tor works too I guess.
  • ninjarabbininjarabbi
    I feel like most people could figure out how to murder someone without Google anyway.
  • AprecheApreche
    If you want to get away with it, poisoning is usually a pretty good method.
  • StarfoxStarfox
    I've heard it said that poison is a woman's weapon.

    So perfect for Scott.

    I feel like I'd rather murder someone with Google.

    Unless you're being really thorough (and doing your diligent web research behind the shield of obscurity Firefox provides), it'll probably show up in an autopsy (although, since it was her baby, I guess whether or not there would be an autopsy would be her decision?). However, you make it too obvious (household cleaners for example) you'll probably get charged with child abuse just from negligence. Your best bet is probably tomatine, a poison found on the leaves of tomato plants.

    Like telling them to search for something so horrifying that the only thing they can do to stop the madness is suicide?

    That's one way, yeah.

    How bad is it that my mind went to Planetside 2's Galaxy transports?

    Whoa. You found something Android can actually do effectively
