Disable Storing Passwords in Firefox 2.0



There’s a new bug, which can reveal your password to any other page on the same domain. Even if you have a master password set, you should clear out all your Firefox stored passwords until this is fixed. There are a lot of ways to take advantage of this, especially on Web 2.14.168.42 sites.

Yep- I use it, and will miss it. I hope they fix this soon.

    MacFixit points out that this affects Safari too! It’s limited to a single site, but makes still me a sad panda.
