Thanks for your response, I would have expected this behavior if it stopped after I ended my Firefox session.

What surprised me was :
I could kill firefox restart it and still get access (until I deleted its setup directory).
I didn't think that was normal behavior.
That led me to believe something was being permanentlly cached by the browser. My concern is that the info includes my root password and I want to be sure it isn't being left around in the browser config files somewhere.
