I clicked on a link to http://hacks.mozilla.org/2011/12/faster-canvas-pixel-manipulation-with-typed-arrays/ that bz posted on irc, and I found his e-mail in the "Your e-mail" field.

I was pretty surprised since I never typed his email in a field, especially not here. In this case was not a big deal, but I may have found his private email.

Gavin pointed out may be related to web content caching.
Over to infrasec to investigate.

Shyam mentioned on IRC that this site may have been switched from using the NetScaler (known to have similar issues: bug 455656) to Zeus recently as part of bug 579927. Depending on if/when that happened in relation to this report, it may have been a cause (temporary glitch related to the switchover?) or a fix (don't recall any evidence of similar issues ever occurring with Zeus).
