(Whiteboard: DUPEME) 

at the URL above is an analyzer that reports info it has found
from the browser. listed in the info is the path to plugins,
and since this path seems to be absolute, it gives clues about
the user (his/her login, which can be used for spam since the
domain is easy to determine, his/her home directory path, etc).

below is the output:

The following plug-ins are installed on your system:
Default Plugin - The default plugin handles plugin data for mimetypes and
extensions that are not specified and facilitates downloading of new plugins. -
/home/<login-name-deleted>/apps/mozilla/plugins/libnullplugin.so
