A note of caution on Firefox's storage of passwords
Authored by: hdms on Jan 24, '07 11:51:35AM

A very important and timely tip - our state Department of Education has just made Firefox its default browser for Macs to use on its network, and I doubt if anyone is aware of this security implication.

Personally I use the Firefox's 'clear all private data' feature to wipe history, cookies and passwords when I quit it; there's also an extension called SafeHistory that does that, too. Then again, I use Safari (with Keychain) as my primary browser.
