The browser crashed on me and I manually shut it down, then restarted the computer because it was slow. Hours later I opened it up and it asked me if I wanted to restore my session, I clicked yes and it took me directly into my email where I was when It crashed, I thought ok, it wont work and to my surprise I was able to compose a message, this email being yahoo. I have very valuable private and secure information, like bank passwords in my email, imagine if I was at an internet cafe and this happened? the next sucker could have gotten all my information. Or if it does this with bank accounts or other confidential information too.

Its not a security flaw. Its a problem with Yahoo Messenger and Yahoo Mail and Firefox.
The latest Firefox always would crash on me when I visited my Yahoo! Mail. One possible reason is the bug caused by the stand alone Yahoo! Messenger application. The Yahoo! Application State plugin must be turned off for Y-mail to work properly.
Try the following:
(1)Type "about:plugins" in the Location Bar of your Firefox browser and press Enter. A list of installed plugins should come up.
(2)Look for "Yahoo! Application State" ("npYState.dll") in the installed plugins list.
(3)If the file is listed, close Firefox completely. Open the C:\Program Files\Yahoo!\shared folder then rename the file "npYState.dll" to "XnpYState.dll". This will disable the plugin.
Restart your browser and test your Y-mail. Good luck.

you should always make sure you properly close down all software when using a public PC. If you are in an internet cafe always be sure about what you are doing (most internet cafes use IE anyway)
If this is true it is not a firefox flaw. It's a yahoo flaw.
If it was hours later the session should have been
terminated for quite a while now.
