Mozilla bug leaks Web surfing data (CNET)
CNET has a short article about a little privacy bug in Mozilla's handling of referers. "The bug reveals the URL of the page someone is viewing to the Web server of the site last visited. This allows a Web server to track where people go after they leave the site, even if the next Web address comes from a bookmark or is manually typed into the browser." If you are using a Gecko-based browser, you can see the bug in action on this page.
