Home - FireFound. FireFound is a Firefox add-on and companion Web service that I wrote for the Extend Firefox 3.5 competition in 2009.

It allows users to track their device’s location via Firefox’s then-new geolocation API; additional features include the ability to view a device’s location history on the website and the ability to turn on a “killswitch” that would clear your browsing data (history, saved passwords, etc.) if someone opened your browser and could not provide your chosen password. It was the first add-on of its kind, and it has been well-received. FireFound Tracks Your Stolen Computer, Nukes Your Personal Data - Security - Lifehacker. Darik's Boot And Nuke.
