Firefox's restore session ability must be loved and admired by Big Brother throughout the world. With anti-virus checkers deliberately ignoring "official" security service bugs and trojans and users becoming more aware of all the data Microsoft and its Internet Explorer saves about them, its probably inevitable that Mozilla, for whatever reason, started saving in secret information about its user's browsing habits! | Firefox's restore session ability must be loved and admired by Big Brother throughout the world.

It is a material consideration that Firefox does not permit ordinary users the ability to turn-off this security and privacy violating feature. If this feature is genuinely for the good of Firefox users, then Firefox ought to allow users to opt out easily and, of course, effectively and permanently. The fact that no such easily available disabling facility exists in Firefox clearly suggests the personal privacy and security of Firefox users was not adequately considered by Firefox's team. Why not? | |||
