Damn, that is really scary, but it doesn't seem to show secure sites that I visited though. Fortunately I did not visit any sites that I should be embarrassed about.

I guess my settings/firewall/whatever are effective, as it only shows nine visited sites and of those at least 3 are such I don't even recall visiting in aeons, like Amazon and IMDB.

It does exactly what it says it does: "This page checks your browser history and determines which of the 5000 most popular Internet websites you've recently visited." Whee! Get to know your browser's privacy settings. Firefox will let you choose how long to keep your history and even delete all private data when you close the browser. The tracking cookies that your browser is probably loaded with are far worse than history browsing.
