Fix for Sign-Out Hotmail = Completely..

Vista-Ultimate32-SP2 (x86) [U.S.Version] No - MSN messenger √ Firefox 11.0 [Windows] √

Updated Search Engine to “ixquick”. • Ixquick…..!!!!...

     o	 As of January 28, 2009, Ixquick no longer records users' IP addresses at all.
     o	 Believe me when I say once you have gotten ixquick “ set properly” 
            	you will kick yourself for putting up with Micro$oft’s ..&&.. Google’s piracy and privacy abuse…!!!

Important…Note**

Delete and removed all references and options of Google/Bing Search engines…”these search engines  have  the most radical and intrusive search Plug-ins and filters that hinders Firefox users and web surfing privacy” and speed …!!!!!!

Reason:..Why..?

When you log-in to hotmail the following harmful cookies (Beacon cookies / Candy cookies), web security filters and tracking functions are Automatic:::

Such as:

bing.com google.com hmit.ww.msn.com live.com login.live.com match.com msn.com secure.shared.live.com www.bing.com

…. If you decide not to follow this step = removal of these harmful search engines..

Please understand that this fix was done under the [above] mention conditions of removing search engines -plug-ins, filters and tracking $oftwares.

Why...????
