The last Firefox upgrade has fixed this security bug. Before the fix, Firefox also had a page with a somewhat similar test. It was scary seeing a lot of our data, things that we typed earlier easily reproduced by the web page. After the fix, it was alright.

extensions that i really love about firefox and can't do without it.
mouse gestures - no more clicking on back/forward/refresh and other commonly used buttons
super drag and go - left click on anything and drag a little of, spawns a new tab if it's a URL, or automatically Google the phrase
these 2 are simply the best extensions for firefox, and make me just wanna use firefox instead of IE. got so used to these 2 that i keep doing it when i use other browsers.
i have other nice extensions too, but i can live without them, but not these 2. try it, and love it...

IMPORTANT NOTICE TO ALL PARENTS!
Even if you do not have little kids, pass this one on to everyone you
can
think of. You never know whom you might save by sending this e-mail!
Please,
take the time and forward this to any friend who has children &
grandchildren! Thanks!
Wanted to share something that happened today while shopping at
Carrefour. A
mother was leaning over looking for meat and turned around to find her
4
years old daughter was missing. I was standing there right beside her,
and
she was calling her daughter with no luck.
I asked a man who worked at Carrefour to announce it over the
loudspeaker.
He did, and left me, he immediately walked right past me when I asked
and
went to a pole where there was a phone. He made an announcement for all
the
doors and gates to be locked, a code something. So they locked all the
doors
at once.
This took all of 3 minutes after I asked the guy to do this. They found
the
little girl 5 minutes later in a bathroom stall drugged .Her headways
half
shaved, and she was dressed in her underwear with a bag of clothes, a
razor,
and wig sitting on the floor beside her, to make her look different.
Whoever this person was, took the little girl, brought her into the
bathroom, shaved half her head, and undressed her in a matter of less
than
10 minutes. This makes me shake to no end.
Please keep a close eye on your kids when in big places where it's easy
for
you to get separated like Shopping Malls. It only took a few minutes to
do
all of that. Another 5 minutes and she would have been out the door.
I am still in shock that some sick person could do this, let alone in a
matter of minutes. The days are over when our little ones could run
rampant
all over the place and nothing worse would happen then them annoying
people.
The little girl is fine. Thank God for fast workers who didn't take any
chances.
BE SURE TO FORWARD THIS TO EVERYONE, SO THEY REMEMBER JUST HOW SICK
PEOPLE
ARE OUT THERE!
IF ANY SUCH INCIDENT HAPPENS IN YOUR PRESENCE, PLEASE ASK THE SECURITY
GUARDS TO SCRUTINIZE PEOPLE WHO ARE CARRYING SLEEPING KIDS (CHECK THE
PRAMS
ALSO). DRUGGED KIDS COULD BE CARRIED AWAY BY KIDNAPPERS WHO POSE AS
PARENTS.
