wipefox

I got tired of manually keying in commands to wipe my Firefox surfing history and cache so I decided to write my own shell script called "wipefox".

#!/bin/sh
echo “Clearing Firefox surfing history and cache”
sudo srm -rllv .mozilla/firefox/*.default/*.sqlite
sudo srm -rllv .mozilla/firefox/*.default/Cache/*
sudo srm -rllv .mozilla/firefox/*.default/OfflineCache/*
