I have never thought that this could happen, but i knew the session ids was stored. Just didn't think another site could sniff them up. We are more vulnerable than we think:( Thanks a lot for this heads-up. I have never thought that this could happen, but i knew the session ids was stored.

If you type a URL in the address bar or if you select a site from your favorites list, the referrer is not sent to the next site. The is no referral in both cases. Only when you click on a link.

If your session ID is in a URL and you navigate to another site, the new site can capture your previous URL as the 'referrer'. This can happen on any computer no matter how secure because it is done through the browser. Actually, this applies to any PC, regardless.

Because who gonna take over from your PC after you used when there no one else UNLESS you don't trust your wife/husband/girlfriendboyfriend!!!! Then yes this tips can come into effects! Just my thought on this. A good tip if you on a public PC, however this tip defies the point if your on your own PC and only you have access to your own PC.
