[opensuse] 13.1 - Firefox 35 - What is: Offline Web Content & User Data?
All, After poking around setting on FF 35, I cam across: Settings -> Advanced -> Network -> Offline Web Content & User Data Its entry was: gabriel...github.io. I certainly hope I'm wrong, but from looking at this setting, it appears that my page cache was being stored on/at this location for "offline" use. If I'm offline, I sure as hell can't use it?? My question is - what is the site gabriel...github.io? (sorry spelling, I deleted before I wrote this). Second, does this mean my page cache was being stored remotely? When did this feature sneak into Firefox? I for one do NOT want my page caches stored remotely in any way, shape, form or fashion. This has huge implications for professions with associated privileges that are waived as a matter of law if disclosed to 3rd parties. (i.e. attorney-client, patient-physician, etc...)

This is the box below "The following web sites are allowed to store data for offline use", correct? That means that you have allowed the site (explicitly or by default) to store content on YOUR computer so that it will continue to function when there is no network connection. For example, it may have a java applet running a game. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
