Firefox 'new tab' feature exposes users' secured info: Fix promised
Found on The Register on Friday, 22 June 2012
Reg reader Chris discovered the feature after opening a new tab only to be "greeted by my earlier online banking and webmail sessions complete with account numbers, balances, subject lines etc.
Firefox 13 was released on 5 June, adding new features including updated new tab and home tab pages. The updated new tab page feature is broadly akin to the Speed Dial feature already present in other browsers and displays cached copies of a user's most visited websites.
Well, now that Mozilla has pretty much copied everything from Opera and Chrome, maybe it can stop that stupid numbering and the constant pushing of new version numbers. On the other hand, this doesn't really matter anymore since many might have already switched over to the browsers which they have copied from.
