Why does selecting a site under History take me there without a password, violating privacy?

When I go to Yahoo Mail in IE I get right in, but going from a Mozilla bookmark always requires a password. OK. But clicking mail under History takes me (or anyone) directly in with no password required. I'm using a private computer, but does this mechanism offer a trapdoor into protected sites?

Thanks, but what you describe is true for me in IE, not in Mozilla. Here, even though I don't log out, Yahoo Mail always responds to a bookmark click with a password query (maybe because I haven't logged out in IE ??). It responds to a History click with unchallenged entry. Anyone browsing my computer would be blocked from my account one way, not the other. If this is true for password-protected sites for other users, it might merit some thought.

  • Why does one of site pages show up as index in my reports?

    Why does one of site pages show up as index in my reports?

    Hi morganagordon,
    Kindly share the URL of your site.
    Also, check the Page Properties of the pages in your Muse file for the page name, page title and file name of the pages.
    To check the same, you will need to open the file with Muse, go to the Plan view, right on each page thumbnail, select "Page Properties" and select the Options tab.

  • Why does Illustrator on Windows 7, 64bit, take 30seconds+ to save a simple image?

    This question is for Adobe Customer Service, thanks. 
    Why does Illustrator on Windows 7, 64bit, take 30seconds+ to save a simple image comprising of two rectangles only (screen shot below)?  I set up a document like this to test the speed, since I've been having trouble saving all documents - they hang, sometimes with the 'this program is not responding' message.   Switching to CC is not an option.
    If it helps, I can come down to the Adobe San Francisco office with my computer.  I've spent a long time trying to resolve this without success.
    Btw, Photoshop CS6 saves fine.
    Thanks again.

    Can you create artwork without delays?
    Is there a printer (driver) set up?
    Are you saving to own harddisk (recommended) or somewhere else?

  • HT1600 Why does a movie on my computer take an hour to download to AppleTV?

    Why does a movie on my computer take an hour and more to download to AppleTV?

    You keep changing the subject without closure, however if you did enter the correct password and it wasn't accepted, it was most likely the result of a networking issue with your network and nothing to do with whether or not the Apple TV is intuitive or not.
    I found some movies that I purchased were still on the "cloud".
    Yes, that's how it is supposed to work, movies purchased from the iTunes Store are always available through the 'Movie' feature.

  • Why does selecting "help" in Premiere Elements give me a http403 forbidden message?

    Why does selecting "Help" in Elements Premiere 11" give me a 403 Forbidden message?

    I have looked at hosts file.
    If I understand your suggestion correctly, I have compared my hosts file entry with the link you provided:
      http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Zyw0c7iJGJs/Uz9A3uyRpMI/AAAAAAAABZo/6s9KihpCW0I/s1600/hostsfile. JPG
    and they appear to be exactly the same.
    [PS: Could an issue here be that my version of PE (11) is not the latest version (13)? (Or should using PE11 still permit use of the "Help" feature, without a "403 error" ?)]

    Let us look at the hosts file and inspect its content for unwanted/unexpected entries.
    STEP 1
    Find the hosts file. In Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 64 bit, the hosts file is found in the path
    Local Disk C
    Windows
    System32
    drivers
    etc
    and in the etc Folder is the hosts  file
    STEP 2
    Right click the hosts file, select Open, and then Notepad. Open the hosts file's Notepad document.
    Do you see anything below the last line in the default hosts file as shown in the screenshot?
    (Always backup the hosts file before editing it.)

    Why does a movie I bought on iTunes not work without internet?

    As long as the film has been fully downloaded (or synced from your computer's iTunes) then you should be able to watch it in the iPad's Videos app without needing to be online - is that how you are trying to view it ?

    If you're referring to Photo Booth, by default it mirrors the image. But under Edit in the menu bar you have two commands, "Flip Photo" (Command-F) and "Auto-Flip New Items" (Shift-Command-F), which should get your images "right".

  • Why does the map app say it takes 8 hours to travel 25 miles?

    The map app says it takes 8 hours and 17 minutes to drive from Naperville, IL, to Midway Airport.  An alternate route only takes 49 minutes.

    If I selected walking, why would a longer alternate route only take 59 minutes.
    I just got directions for the same route and got reasonable results.  Whatever the problem was it appears to have been corrected.
    Thank you all for your comments.

  • Why does purchasing a movie from Netflix take so long to download?

    When purchasing a movie from Netflix, why does it take so long to download?

    I think you mean iTunes, Netflix is a subscription service and there's no PPV rental
    In any case, check your internet speed.
    You need a minimum sustained 6mbps connection for HD content
    If you are lower turn off HD via the settings

  • Why does firefox hang when opening and takes several minutes to come up?

    Why does Firefox hang for several minutes before coming up?

    I am also having this problem. When trying to reboot, I get an endless cycle of the BIOS screen, then "MACHINE ERROR", then back. Running the same dmesg command as snoxu results in a similar error message. I am forced to shutdown by holding the power button. Upon rebooting, I get an error message that all extensions have been turned off (using Gnome Shell). Then I have to logout and login.
    Shutting down and then restarting works fine.
