741089 - When using run-as command for admin, history is available to non-admin user

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Firefox :: Untriaged, defect)

Description

[Gary Davison]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1; rv:10.0.3) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/10.0.3
Build ID: 20120309135702

Steps to reproduce:

I have three tabs open as a non-admin user. I was listening to Iheartradio stations. I used the run-as command to open a separate instance of Firefox as administrator to access my router.


Actual results:

After I closed the Firefox instance running as admin, the router URL was visible in the non-admin browser history. It's possible other data was available as well.


Expected results:

I shouldn't have seen the history from the admin browsing session in a non-admin browsing session.

Hello Gary,

I just found your bug-report from 2012 and first of all I want to say sorry for the delay :-(

the functions you report to us are normal ones, because the "run as" command don't cange the profile you are using inside firefox. Because of this firefox has an included profile manager.

so i will close this finaly as invalid (because it is no bug)
