If its somehow possible to determine that ffox is in guest session, it would probably be possible to default firefox to "ask for removal of private" data ...; making this dependent on some env variable would be non-trivial though; if its possible to copy a default profile on guest session initialization (or guest session user account setup) that would probably work. - Alexander -- Firefox Should Not Prompt for Password Save in Guest Session https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/290507 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
