Thank you for this and the few other posts on the topic. We are investigating this issue, but rest assured that no private photos are being shared or displayed, and that those you are seeing are only public photos similar to what you might find using the recent photos query ( picasaweb.google.com/data/feed/api/all).
We expect the issue will be resolved shortly. On a side note, if you don't want to use Firefox (which does a nice job, I agree), you can add "&prettyprint=true" when viewing in your browser.
