 Hello, this is Derek and I'm recording a series of video tutorials for use by our faculty here at the iSchool and this first one is on the use of Firefox and having a personal profile so you can recover from a data catastrophe. Okay, so let's share a screen here and we'll go share my windows machine and you can see here I have a freshly installed version of Firefox and the really cool thing about Firefox beyond the fact that it is the only open source and free browser which isn't part of the Google monopoly via the Chrome engine which is now an edge in Chrome and Vivaldi and all the other browsers all use the Chrome engine so we want to use this because as information professionals we don't want to be part of how do you say the monopoly on info that Google has so one of the things that's really cool about Firefox amongst other things is that once you log into it you can actually import your bookmarks your history and all your logins it's kind of amazing your machine can die totally and you can buy a brand new machine log into Firefox and you have everything already saved this is the biggest deal and the reason I'm doing these tutorials is because in the last couple of weeks I had a couple of instructors had their machine die and they've lost everything so anyway let's log in and then of course it was my super long password and I am using what's known as a two-factor integration in this form through the dual app which is kind of cool and you got there where we've logged in but then number that you gave me and now look at there YouTube's happening it's installed all of my favorite extensions and we'll get there but first I just want to show you that I personally liked how short was it you see them blinking here it means they're downloading my bookmarks my user history everything is very very nice what you can customize your I like getting a home button I don't like these goofball things don't like that I want this over here and I want this button here that's how I like it so if I go here it's all my and all of my bookmarks are there so let's go for example to see it remembers the pop-up password and it remembers all of my accounts so that symbol just log in and all of your stuff is saved now in the next tutorial we'll talk about how even if the internet or firefax account is compromised you can save your bookmarks and your logins as exportable files and then keep them on an encrypted disk we'll talk about that but for right now I just want to point out that you can do the same behavior in Chrome I think even in Vivaldi so it's pretty much a standard feature for any modern browser so what you want to do is create yourself a profile and we use a regular long passphrase and we'll talk more about those in another tutorial and then you always have your stuff packed up and you never have to worry oh by the way did I forget did I lose my machine or get a virus or heaven forbid your house burns down and your phone and your computer are destroyed by any of the horrible things that can happen to us we know as in this universe if it can happen they probably will I will add this one anecdote and that is I learned about doing this set off the hard way way back when I was teaching library to Vivaldi I had this is the web development course I had a student upload a virus of a sophisticated virus to my friend server and it infected my machine and I lost everything I had to start all over and since that point I've been very diligent about backing up my user information so that in the event of a data disaster it has little or no effect on me so we'll stop this here there and well and by saying I wanted to each have these tutorials the same way you know I'm the webmaster for the high school and I am available if I zoom to anybody who needs help so you need help drop me an email I check my email seven days I will meet with you and help you get yourself sorted so that I'll say bye and down next time
