does firefox security suck or not?

[Sulla]

I encountered this problem with firefox.

If the browser is closed a session is not terminated at all. There is no way to terminate a firefox session if the logout button isn't there.

I'm using php and jsp to program a few web pages and sometimes using some functions from servers like apache requires authentication. If I enter the authentication wrong I can't even enter the right one again for a while.

Add to that, if I reload pages it doesn't work until at least 15 minutes!!!

Why does it do something like that??? I can't understand it?

I checked the setting I didn't find anything wrong. Is there a way to make it work like the other browsers?

There is, but I'm not sure what it is.

If you are using Firefox Preloader it dooes this. FF Preloader litterally loads FF on startup and keeps it running in the background. Makes for a nice, quick launch, but it is still running no matter what.

You may want to uninstall and reinstall FF.

Also, check the Mozilla forums to see if there is a solution posted.

Also, check this post and the link in it. It might actually be the fix you need:

I think I solved the first part
typed about:config and went to the privacy.sessions.items and made it user-defined instead of default.

I'll need to check the second part, but I can't do that unless the problem happens when I'm programming.

thanx trotter,
