Steps to reproduce:

Normal usage of Firefox: Surfing, doing some online banking

Just checking the chronicle which shouldn't be there (since I'm curious and since I usually consider the impossible regarding information technology). Being astonished, that there is a chronicle.


Expected results:

There should be no chronicle at all.

Could you be specific about the steps you take? You're turning on "Never remember history" mode, then browsing some pages and opening up the history sidebar?

Comment 2

[Rolf.Frey]

Yes, that is exactly what I did. And strangely enough: Only the banking related pages have been put to the chronicle. Other sides stay away from the chronicle. I'll check and test it in the next days in order to find out when/why a chronicle is being built despite the setting not to build it.

Record into history, I guess.

Oh, that sounds pretty bad.

Rolf, if you can reproduce this, I would like to get some more information on how you reproduce this.  Also, have you tried testing this in a new profile?  I'd like to make sure that this is not caused by an extension...
