Security Flaw

Question

I believe the Resume Editing option of FireShot could be considered a security flaw. If someone did a FireShot capture for a secure site, closed the tab for that site, and then did a Resume Editing, a copy of a screen for the secure tab is still available within FireShot. The only way to prevent this from happening is to restart Firefox. Then, the Resume Editing option is not available. I do not know of any other way to prevent this. Just closing a tab to a secure site when using FireShot is not sufficient to remove all traces of a secure session.

I am using version 0.81 of FireShot with Windows XP professional, version 2002 SP3, English, Firefox/3.6.

Accepted Answer

Resume editing works for registered users. Due to licensing conditions, it cannot be used by other users, so no security flaw occurs when it's used in accordance to the license.
