Package: iceweasel
Version: 2.0+dfsg-1

Hi,

please set dom.storage.enabled to false.

On 14 Dec the Web Hypertext Application Technology Working Group[1]
submitted the Web Applications 1.0 Standard Working Draft[2]. This
standard enables a cookie-like system for storing and retrieving
private data through JavaScript ("client-side session and persistent
storage"). Since firefox2 this function is implemented and enabled at
default[4].

Since
- this is providing a huge (!) privacy hole[3]
- this is just an inofficial working draft 
- there is no way to change this behaviour in the iceweasel GUI
- There is no way to en- or disable this setting for particular
  websites
please set the default in iceweasel to false or remove this function
from iceweasel.

Cheers,
Alexander
