Better not be calling me a liar. You can verify it yourself, make a new login on your machine, copy your Mozilla over from Application Data (which is a hidden folder by default, but we should all know about Windows’ “hidden” folders) to the new account, login to the machine with the new account, come to FR, and check out how you’re logged in just like it was your old Windows login.

We were getting a network shuffle at work, so everybody was getting new machine accounts, when I copied the folder I figured all I’d get was my bookmark list and various UI/ usability tweaks. I was pretty surprised to find it moved the keys to my FF universe, convenient so long as I’m the only one on the machine, scary if somebody else get’s in there.
