Details

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:12.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/12.0
Build ID: 20120424151728

Steps to reproduce:

I enabled the new about:newtab screen for new tabs.


Actual results:

about:newtab contains screenshots of websites that require authentication. The screenshot is taken after I log in and private data remains in the screenshot after I log out.


Expected results:

Screenshots must not contain private data that requires authentication. Take the screenshot from the login or logout page, but not when logged in. This is a privacy issue.
