527569 - activity log should be disabled in Private Browsing Mode

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Firefox :: Sync, defect)

Description

[Tony Chung [:tchung]]

User should not be able to see the activity log of sync data in PB mode.  Currently, i can still access all that data when logged in.

Repro:
1) install weave 1.0b1pre1
2) generate some sync history (login, partial sync, log out, etc..)
3) enter private browsing mode
4) verify you can view the activity log of the user data from normal mode.

Expected:
- disable activity log in PB mode

Why shouldn't they be allowed to view the log?  Private Browsing mode still allows access to all your other data (bookmarks, history, etc).  The distinction about Private Browsing Mode is that your activity *during* private browsing should not be saved.

Weave doesn't do stuff during Private Browsing, but PB doesn't prevent users from accessing existing data like dholbert pointed out.
