I was stunned to discover that the Restore feature allowed others to get into my gmail account even after the computer had been shut down and restarted. How can this be prevented?

We have a PCin our shared vacation home running both Firefox and Explorer . When I tried to log into my gmail, Firefox took me automatically to one of my sister's accounts. In an effort to get to my own account, I shut down the computer. When I rebooted and restarted Firefox, it asked if I wanted to restore earlier session, and Lo & Behold I was back in my sister's email account. This is scandalous! How can it be prevented?

Hi,

You may have to disable (uncheck) Active Logins in Tools (Alt + T) > Options > Privacy > Settings, if it is enabled. Additionally you may also have to change to Use custom settings for history beside Firefox will and enable Clear history when Firefox closes, if Settings is disabled or not visible.

Also, please note that it's always a safe practice to sign out of websites completely on shared PCs.

You can set the pref browser.sessionstore.privacy_level to 2 (never) or 1 (non-HTTPS, default in Firefox 3 versions) on the about:config page to disable saving cookies via session restore.
