Details

Mozilla is creating world-readable temp files when I submit a form.  These files
are created as /tmp/formpost-nn, where nn is sequentially assigned.  The files
have mode 644, and can be read by anyone on my system.  Some of these posting
contain confidential information.  I respectfuly suggest that Mozilla should not
have to write out a temp file just to submit a form.

This was observed on the Linux 2001-02-27 build.
