Comments from dveditz during the security review of the Web Console: currently not caching data, but when we are it should be purged when going into/out of Private Browsing mode. There may not be an issue in practice, but we definitely need to see what the behavior is and confirm that it is as expected.

The Error Console (and console service) are cleared on enter/exit private browsing, the same should be done here (aiui the Web Console will be caching its messages).

Now that the lazy console has landed, it makes sense to do this one. Assigning to self just so it's not lost (Mihai, feel free to take if you'd like).

I hadn't worried about assigning this one yet, because there's no cache to clear yet (there are other bugs for that like bug 601260 on which this one depends.)

This patch will be something like: XPCOMUtils.defineLazyServiceGetter(this, "gConsoleStorage", "@mozilla.org/console-storage-service;1", "nsIConsoleStorageService"); // in an observer for "private browsing exit" (or whatever it is called) gConsoleStorage.deleteStorage() Although, now that I look at the IDL, it seems like we need a resetStorage() method that deletes the storage data and re-initializes it with an empty array.

It would probably be best to have the ConsoleStorageService handle this itself...

(In reply to comment #7) > It would probably be best to have the ConsoleStorageService handle this > itself... as per this comment - talking this bug and the patch with be part of the initial ConsoleStorageService bug 612658 (the test is larger than the changes required)

saving work

This patch requires the patches from bug 612658 and bug 609890

This bug should block as it has to do with privacy.
