It wouldn't be a bad idea that when you start your browser, you are actually starting a virtual machine that keeps itself, well and truly to itself.

And so on a single pc, several icons on your desktop can be different configurations of VM Firefox, each one configured for a specific purpose, with optional white lists, NoScript, firewalls, etc.

eg. VM F1 is for serious stuff, like banking, and has all your personal details. VM F2 is for work stuff with your work credentials VM F3 is for surfing and is laden with the details of the neighbour you don't get on with VM F4 is for getting up to no good and spoofs everything.
