No, because I have SM set to clear all cookies on shutdown (i.e., accept
only session cookies), and this happened after a relaunch.
Not sure where it's located, but sm 1.1.17 _asks_ if I want to save the
data after it's entered.
But V.2 does not. That's one of my chief complaints in this thread. It
doesn't ask, I can't stop it, and once it's happened there's no way to
remove or even edit the data. Except, of course, to disable the feature
entirely, which also eliminates nonsensitive info.
This business of saving sensitive data without my permission and against
my will, and making the decision for me without asking, is very
Microsoft. I wouldn't have expected it from a Mozilla program.
fwiw, a good keyboard macro program can bypass the sm forms data
completely, is faster and more accurate to use that then, give you more
control and allow you to keep sensitive information in a secure location.
My point is that I /don't/ want to keep sensitive info on my computer. I
want to enter it only as necessary at secure sites. What the computer
doesn't know can't be hacked or stolen.
Finally, consider dedicating one _credit_ card as a "web only, only web"
card and have the provider set its limit low... the way things are
going, doing so has a good chance of paying off later.
Or else get software that minds its own &$&^$& business...
P.S. Forgive me for removing all your grocer's apostrophes. I can't
abide them, and they make a smart guy look illiterate.
