Twitter Data Cache on Mozilla Firefox

- tmalsburg2 6y agoThey make it sound as if Firefox was to blame but don't make it explicit. Could be that they messed and that it has nothing to do with Firefox.

- SimeVidas 6y agoCould Twitter not have used the Clear-Site-Data header to instruct Firefox do wipe the cache when the user logs out? https://w3c.github.io/webappsec-clear-site-data/#example-signout https://w3c.github.io/webappsec-clear-site-data/#example-sig...
