User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.6; rv:20.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/20.0 Build ID: 20130313170052 Steps to reproduce: opened about:memory?verbose Actual results: about:memory?verbose lists some pages viewed by the user, including session ids or other url parameters, even if private browsing is enabled, the window has been closed, and the time of viewing is hours ago. Expected results: in private browsing, it should not be possible to see which pages a user viewed after the tab or window has been closed. No information should be stored, or if technically necessary, the pages should be identified in a way which does not allow getting the page url after the tab or window has been closed (e.g. hash value).
