security issue

Hello gomita,

I think I've encountered a security issue with tabscope.

When I hover about a tab so the preview is vissible and I close the top of my laptop, the laptop is going to suspend (to ram). When opening the laptop again I'm right in the session without having to login. This only happens when the preview of the tabscope is vissibel.

I'm working with ff 3.6.13 on ubuntu 10.04

I don't think it is depending on a special website. I just testet with this site and it is hapening.

I cannot reproduce it by the following procedure on my Windows 7:

  1. login to github
  2. go to the sleep mode
  3. weak up from the sleep mode
  4. reload github

Results: I am still logging in github regardless of the visibility of Tab Scope popup.

Sorry, you misunterstood me (I'm no native speaker).

Normaly when I close my laptop and reopen it, I've to login in my system (I have to put in my password). When closing my laptop while hovering over a tab so tabscope is showing the preview, I don't have to login into my system (no password needed), so anybody opening the laptop would have access to my files.
