The Secure IE Security Manager allows you to set up how you want all your private
information to be handled. What’s better, websites are restricted in their access
to your private information based on what security zone category they fall into.
Websites listed under Low security are allowed to keep cookies and use Flash and
ActiveX on your computer. Websites with Medium security are allowed limited access
and High security websites are denied access completely.
Firefox keeps lists of certain pieces of personal information and allows
you to view and delete them. But any management of privacy features in Firefox is
not automatic. It must be done through the Options toolbox.

With Secure IE, depending on what security zone a website is in, the browser history will be cleared
accordingly. You can choose to clear information for all websites in just one
security zone or you can clear all the information across all zones. This means
that you can keep the logins etc, for the sites you trust.
Firefox lets you specify how long to keep browser history before deleting it, but
this means that everything is eventually deleted. You have no choice in what to keep
and what to delete.

you can delete all the cookies on your computer or just the cookies for websites that
fall into a certain security zone.
With Firefox, websites are either allowed to write cookies to your computer or not. There is no
option for limited access. And any existing cookie deletion must be done
manually.
