You guys know what I do at work. 
I don’t like people nosing in my laptop to see what I’m doing. I hate that. I don’t look at what my colleagues are doing and I accept the same from them as well.
Although I sometimes say I’m uncomfortable, still we can’t help people peeking in. If also in this soup, fret not. Help is here. All you need is to run Firefox.
Got fed up with the fact that my privacy is hitting a all time low, I searched for some Firefox Plugins for help.

‘Hide’ tabs from curious onlookers
Hide a single Tab
Picture this - you want to browse Orkut, but don’t want others to see that. Page Title Eraser extension is perfect and does more than what you ask for. Use your imagination, then you’ll sell yourself!
1. You can erase your tab title, so that others don’t know that you do. You can also remove the Favicon.
2. You can erase the tab title and keep a title you want! How about browsing Orkut with the title of your company’s website?
Hide the entire Tab Bar!
When I’m writing a blog post, then I tend to do research, read, search, etc.. before I finally do something that you read. It doesn’t look nice if I’ve some tabs open. This extension functions as the “Auto Hide the Taskbar” of your windows. When you place your mouse near the tab bar, then it appears!
How cool is that?
I don’t have both the extensions enabled by default. While browsing many tabs (which might seem suspicious to others), then I use the Hide Tab Bar extension, otherwise Page Title Eraser extension is enabled by default.
One more evil use of these extension would be to browse porn without mommy catching you. With this two extensions installed, my tally of Firefox extensions is now 20.
With these two deadly extensions, you’re a step closer to have more privacy while browsing.

hey man, thanks. my mom saw the 420 forums i was browsing open a while ago (i’m 14 and got in trouble a while ago for having a pipe but i convinced her it was my friends) and that screwed my home life up for a bit. after that i put my computer to blank out after two minutes of no one using it, and to require a password to get back in, but this will help way more. thanks.
Never seen this extension. But it has lot of evil advantages.
Browsing Orkut with Company website Title is really fun.
BTW I have only 7 extension installed in my Fx

“One more evil use of these extension would be to browse porn without mommy catching you”
Wasn’t that your primary aim, even though you put it at the end.

“”We apologize the site [enter any porn site here] you are attempting to visit has been blocked due to its content being inconsistent with the religious, cultural, political and moral values of the United Arab Emirates.”
There’s no way that you can access porn in UAE (or other Gulf Countries) unless you know how to bypass sites.
Also you guys should know that I never visit porn sites.
Oh, that is one good thing I’m hearing about U.A.E
These things look good . It will come handy in hostel also where all your mates start asking a lot of questions if they see any new sites opened in my computer .
Thanx man these are really helpful ar your workplace
