BJv you know what i'm talking about...


So we've established it's an issue that occurs occasionally when posting a "Quick Reply" in Firefox. But I just realised something, not sure if it can help at all with resolving the issue.

After refreshing the page so that it actually loads, I click on the drop-down menu next to the "Back" button, and I see the link as Note the WYCIWYG (What You C Is What You Get)

But when I click it, that part is not in the address bar, just under the drop-down menu...

WYCIWYG


WYCIWYG is an acronym that stands for What You Cache Is What You Get, or more commonly displayed in the address bar of Gecko-based Web browsers like Mozilla Firefox as wyciwyg:// when the Web browser is retrieving cached information.

Usage

Mozilla Firefox implements a unique, strictly internal wyciwyg:// pseudo-URI scheme to sort and later reference locally cached pages that were generated or modified scriptually on client side (a common practice for Web 2.0 sites).

Security Issues

Michal Zalewski reported that it was possible to bypass the same-origin checks and read from cached (wyciwyg) documents. It is possible to access wyciwyg:// documents without proper same domain policy checks through the use of HTTP 302 redirects. This enables the attacker to steal sensitive data displayed on dynamically generated pages; perform cache poisoning; and execute own code or display own content with URL bar and SSL certificate data of the attacked page (URL spoofing).

This security issue was announced on 17 July 2007 as a high vulnerability and was fixed in Firefox 2.0.0.5 and SeaMonkey 1.1.3.

Oh lol I was just running with the whole wysiwig thing and figured it meant the same thing lol. My bad
