Re: FireFox / Mozilla HTTP Headers: X-Moz quote: I don't rank this high as a security issue,
That's because it's a privacy issue, not a security one. 
quote: Although there is no ability to disable this behavior via FF
Seems funny there wouldn't even be an entry in about:config for it. Might do to check mozillazine to see if it's been reported. Digging through bugzilla can be a pain.  -- Think outside the fox...Seamonkey |

That's because it's a privacy issue, not a security one.  Likely true. But in my scheme of things, privacy is a subset of security. And I like to keep my privacy secure.

Besides, in my first post on the subject, I linked to a post which said there was no way to change the Live Titles / microsummaries behavior in the bookmark properties. The author of that post was Myk Melez, and based on my search of his name at the time, I find him to be a credible source. From his web site:
»www.melez.com/mykzilla/
quote: My primary responsibility for Firefox 2 was to implement support for microsummaries. It was a large task, and I couldn't have done it without significant assistance from a number of other folks.
I'll take his word for now. If you see that something has changed since his post dated 11/7/2006 stating that there was no way to turn it off, let us know.
