After filling out a form on a "SECURE website" (padlock - check,

Comments?
There is bug open (Form History is shared code) to avoid saving credit
card numbers, SSN numbers and other similar numeric sequences.

I'd like to ask a silly question which would mitigate this situation.
Why don't people password protect the opening of SeaMonkey?
"password protect" has become an oxymoron :-) there are so many places that one
can
use a password that it is just crazy - the 'master password' is an attempt in
the
right direction.
But I do not see how your question relates to filling out forms, unless you
think
that the only possible penetration of your computer would be by a person sitting
there. Data can be stolen by Malware and sometimes by Thumbdrives or just by
stealing
the whole d--- computer.
If the computer is stolen and but your applications that use Passwords
have been password protection and the passwords been encrypted. The
average person stealing a computer does so Not to log on and get your
passwords. the do so to sell it to get money.
While it may not be 100% protection it slow them down. many to the point
they ay give up.
