With all the discussion going on about responsible disclosure on this
mailing list I have to ask if you've disclosed this with the
respective Firefox and Chrome mailing lists.

Firefox has a useful function: manage login information which allows users
remember their username and password.
When users browse the site which they saved login infomation it will auto fill
login form.
Users can view the username and password saved by click Tools --> Options -->
Security --> Saved Password.
That is not safe but Firefox has option to protect this infomation that is "Use
a Master password" (Image 1):

Once run Firefox and browse pages which saved login information, Firefox will
ask Master Password. If type right Master password , Login information will be
used (Image 2):

More people believe this Master password but I detected that other person can
use Google Chrome to "HACK" Firefox.

Install Google Chrome and browse a website (saved login information) and you
will be surprised because login information are auto filled (Image 3):
