Binary package hint: ubuntu-desktop

When using the guest session in Intrepid, Firefox prompts users if they want to save their passwords on websites. This is a problem for two reasons:
1. The passwords are only saved for that session (this is good, though a different impression is given by the offer to save passwords)
2. Alice logs in as a guest, saves a password in firefox, and then switches the session to Bob without logging out. Then Bob lets Joseph use the guest session by switching him to it, Joseph has access to the password that Alice saved previously.

** Affects: firefox (Ubuntu)
