serious security issue : I landed on another person's account !

Hello,
I'm no hacker ... just cliked my browser's back button and I landed on another person's account !
Hit the same button again and landed on another page, but still not mine.

FYI, I was using Firefox 3 beta 4 if it's relevant ot he case. Of course I didn't touch anything, but I could easily have deleted data ...
I have screenshots but I don't believe that this forum has a way to display attachments. Anyway I can email them if somebody needs to investigate.
This seems a serious security issue.

Yeah, I had the same thing happen to me today. I'm using FF 2.
After I refreshed the page a few times my own account appeared.Thursday, May 1, 2008 10:34 AM -
I just had the same thing happen, adding a new site I returned to someone else's list, even clicking 'log out' still meant I was viewing this list.

If you could please send the screenshot to my hotmail account (brett_yount...) I would appreciate it. I've been trying to reproduce the error, but have not been able to so far.
Thanks,

Brett, I'll try to get a screenshot but just to confirm we also saw the same thing again with FF 2.0.14. Hasn't happened since seems like some weird cache issue.
