Disappointingly, this issue remains with the final "gold" release version of Firefox 3.
I agree with Michael Losonsky above, this may not be a bug in code, but the refusal of the "RichResults" to obey the "Clear Private Data" command presents a significant privacy issue (I find this very surprising, security and privacy are things that the Firefox team have always taken very seriously). It's disappointing to see that this is a "wishlist" item only. IMHO the importance level should be set to "priority". It's not only furtive pr0n users who will be effected by this, think of the embarrassment this could cause when, for example, you sit in front of your machine with a customer, you start typing in a URL only for the auto-complete to suggest not only a similarly spelled site, but to produce a comprehensive list of pages that you visited when on that site. You don't need much of an imagination to picture the manifold ways in which this could cause some very awkward and embarrassing situations. The fact that the only means to control this feature is by disabling it within "about:config" just seems to confirm that it is effectively a bug. -- Firefox-3 does not clear private data https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/209794 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
