Description

[Rafael Ebron (:rebron)]

We should have a security button or a reset privacy settings that does the
following:

- clears memory and disk cache
- removes all cookies
- clears history
- clears location bar
- clears password manager information
- clears form manager information

Ah, the old "delete all evidence of porn browsing" button. Probably not a bad
idea. Changing description to be a little more descriptive.

Or...at a kiosk such as I was last night (computer downstairs at the gym) and
wanted to not have any trace of me on the computer.  some guy named jbankoff
happened to leave his screen name on the IM buddylist.  

Also, I sometimes surf at CompUSA's iMac cafe while I wait for my wife to get
her hair done in the city, and also surfing at internet stall at the airport
such as the case in New Orleans (using Linux and 4.x).  

Not just for porn browsing as that would just clear cache, history, and cookies.
 Want to have  one place to be able to clear all evidence of ever even being on
that computer to clear password manager info, memory disk and cache, potentially
removing mail setting information in Mail.   

Almost like a kiosk mode clear to make sure I haven't left anything behind.  It
would be great to have this functionality on the privacy and settings main
preferences panel as that panel doesn't do anything right now.
