Comment:

 We should probably wipe the history and cookie files in the Firefox
 profile even during just a "Panic Button" pass. In particular, the
 following files are especially sensitive and should be wiped no matter
 what, if they exist (various Firefox options can enable them):

 Data/profile/*.sqlite*
 Data/profile/*.xml
 Data/profile/*.db
 Data/profile/weave/*
 Data/profile/bookmark*
