Custom Firefox Build
Posted: Fri Apr 07, 2006 1:09 pm
I am developing software which contains data that has a value of around $2,000 per row, and because of this, I need to ensure the client that users will be unable to simply take the information and run.
The good news is that often the users of the software will be idiots and/or technologically.... impaired.
My semi-solution is the following:
I create a custom firefox build with disabled printing for a certain domain -> whatever domain the software is on.
I alter the user-agent to be a fake version of firefox - 1.5.0.2 so that when someone tries to login to the software, I will make sure they are using a custom built version of fx.
Problems with this idea:
People can always take screenshots, but quite frankly, there isn't much I can do about that.
Users could theoretically use another firefox version with a user-agent spoofer to replicate the headers. -> 99.9% of users won't know how to do this.
Anyone have any ideas on this system?
Anyone have experience with altering firefox like this?
