Security Concerns: Saved forms (across VMs) and password (after clearing all history).
v155.9.1esr Debian 12
I'm testing different Debian 12 on multiple VMs, it came to my surprise to see that my VPN hash I used on a website the day before was saved by Firefox on the new VM.
The Sync was on but then which one saved my form (hash)?
- Numbered list item Logins & Passwords ? note: The hash was not a login but a form. If Firefox saves all the form, you should explicitly rename Logins by any forms/inputs.
- Numbered list item History? note: I hope this is only URLs.
If Firefox is savings "forms" (input fields) not just "logins" then it should be explicitly written. Is it an expected behavior?

Thank you - So "History" synchronization stores both web addresses and forms. The behaviour might be different between browsers but know I know for Firefox.
