http://www.theregister.co.uk/2008/12/15/browser_password_security_tests/ Firefox and Opera came joint first, but still only scored 33%! I heard about an unpatched vuln in ie last week as well, not sure if this is the same one. Title: Re: Rate my dangerous browser Post by: RED-DOG on December 16, 2008, 01:47:54 PM Dangerous scouser

I hope everyone who is using Firefox is using the 'Master Password' to encrypt all the passwords that the browser is storing. Otherwise, all your passwords are sitting in plain text available to any hacker who might happen across them.

Well it's not that unlikely to have your PC compromised, and the attacks are getting "better" in that they're more likely to catch people out - by compromising legitimate sites and using them to launch the attack etc. Title: Re: Rate my dangerous browser Post by: kinboshi on December 16, 2008, 02:48:30 PM Safari, which came joint last with google chrome in a recent browser security test? http://www.theregister.co.uk/2008/12/15/browser_password_security_tests/ Firefox and Opera came joint first, but still only scored 33%!

Otherwise, all your passwords are sitting in plain text available to any hacker who might happen across them. Do people actually worry about this sort of jaz? I don't worry, as I have a password set. If you don't then anyone who has access to your computer (that could be physically or remotely in the case of a hacker) can read your passwords. It's not something many people think will affect them until it does. Say for example you are burgled and your computer is nicked. If you don't have the master password set, all your passwords that are stored in Firefox are sitting there for them to see. Some might just be a bit of an inconvenience, but some might be a little bit more important than that.

Some people use the same passwords for everything so even having a harmless password compromised could lead to a big security issue for them.

BUT, I think the test that Bongo posted suggests that Firefox does actually store some passwords you don't ask it to. Although I might have misunderstood the article.
