261245 - When closing Firefox 1.0, the process won't die and stays background

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 239223

(Toolkit :: Startup and Profile System, defect)

Description

[T Niemi]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20040913 Firefox/0.10
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20040913 Firefox/0.10

Firefox 1.0 Preview Release process won't die, when I'n closing the browser. It
still stays background and I have to kill it with task manager. This feature/bug
enables visiting on HTTP authenticated web-pages without re-authentication. E.g.
if I have visited on autheticated web-page and I close all browsers and starts
firefox again, I'm are able to go back to web-page, which needs HTTP
authentication, without re-authentication. 


Reproducible: Sometimes
Steps to Reproduce:




This bug/feature is very dangerous, because it makes possible to other people to
visit on HTTP authenticated web-pages without authentication, because the
process on background remembers Your username and password..
