CVE-2004-2657
Mozilla Firefox 1.5.0.1, y posiblemente otras versiones, conserva algunos registros de la actividad del usuario incluso después de desinstalarlo, lo que permite a los usuarios locales que comparten un perfil de Windows consultar dichos registros tras una nueva instalación de Firefox, tal como se informó para la lista de sitios web de "Passwords Never Saved". NOTA: El fabricante ha rebatido este problema, afirmando que "El desinstalador está principalmente para desinstalar la aplicación. No está para desinstalar los datos del usuario. Por el momento me mantengo en mi decisión como propietario del módulo.
