463187 - clear authenticated sessions automatically when browsing history or cookies are cleared

Status: NEW

(Firefox :: Settings UI, defect)

Description

[Mike Beltzner [:beltzner, not reading bugmail]]

The "active logins" item in the Clear Private Data options is meaningless to users and will be removed. In the long run we should have a primary UI way to "logout" of websites that will disconnect these / invoke the website's logout method / etc, but since that's pretty far off now, we should interpret certain actions as meaning "disconnect from site X"

When a user:

 - clears their browsing history
 - clears their cookies

we should automatically disconnect authenticated sessions as part of either of those actions.

This isn't solved by bug 453440, but I likes it!
