Hiya all,

My newly refurbed laptop died A Death a little while ago, and I'm prepping to send it back to the seller. I had the browser on the laptop synced with my Firefox account (autofill my passwords for things etc) and have since unlinked it, but I just need to know that the browser won't be autofilling things if the seller repairs the hardware and fiddles around!

The laptop as it stands is entirely unbootable, and while I know I can remove the HDD and delete my files, it's the browser stuff I'm most concerned about.

Thank you!

No one can be sure of anything on a dead computer. Take out the HDD and send it back or put the HDD on a craddle drive and wipe it clean with software.

It is a hard question.

If you are not clearing the cookies/settings after exit the Firefox. Probably your stuff is still loaded in Firefox. For future you can use master password for your passwords.

Remove your HDD and clear it before to send it.
