Many web-based music services are raising lately, and we all have used them at least once, specially when away from home, or can access our music library. One of the coolest one though, and maybe one of the first ones to be born, is Pandora. Unfortunately this amazing service is currently available only in the US, leaving everyone else without this fantastic resource.

As a matter of fact, using Pandora through the HTTPS protocol bypasses this limitation, allowing everyone to access the service, no matter where located. The trick is simply to use a software that forces the web-browser to utilize a secure HTTP session any time that this is available.

With version 3.5, Mozilla introduced in Firefox a new feature: Private Browsing. For those who don’t know, Private Browsing is a particular state of Firefox which allows people to browse anonymously on the web, without leaving any trace into the browser’s history, cookies, complement data, etc.
