O.K., so as I (and I expect a heck of a lot of others) don't have the
Live HTTP Headers *ADD-ON* installed, I would have no idea what is going

Alexandre does have it installed but doesn't know/remember.
Perhaps if Alexandre were to look at the various screens at
Tools->Add-ons Manager to see if it is installed. *HEY!! Look!!* I do
have the "Live HTTP Headers" ADD-ON installed and enabled. Who would
have known!?!?
Thanks for the confidence credit, but no: Not only do I NOT have the
"Live HTTP Headers" Add-On installed and/or enabled, I have never heard
of it before, and have no idea why I would want to (yet).
Having installed the Live HTTP Headers extension, I discovered that two
financial institutions where I have accounts were in violation of their
own privacy policies. Navigating in their Web sites to perform
transactions, the extension showed that cookies and ETags were being set
by Facebook when the privacy policies stated that browsing would not
involve disclosures to third-parties. This happened because the Web
sites were actually fetching images directly from Facebook rather than
having local copies of those images.
One financial institution quickly changed their Web site to eliminate
the fetching of images from Facebook as soon as I notified them of the
problem. The other financial institution failed to take corrective
actions until I filed a complaint with the relevant U.S. regulatory
agency, requesting an enforcement action to make the institution comply
with their own published privacy policy.
Well done, David.
