** Description changed:

- Current Behavior: Sites are logged (and viewable in Gnome Activity Journal) by the Zeitgeist data source for Firefox while the browser is in Private Browsing mode.
- Expected Behavior: Sites visited in Private Browsing mode are not logged by the data source and are not viewable in Gnome Activity Journal etc.
+ Current Behavior: Sites are logged (and viewable in Gnome Activity
+ Journal) by the Zeitgeist data source for Firefox while the browser is
+ in Private Browsing mode.

+ Expected Behavior: Sites visited in Private Browsing mode are not logged
+ by the data source and are not viewable in Gnome Activity Journal etc.

  Steps to Replicate:
  1. Compile and install the Firefox data provider from Launchpad in trunk
  2. Launch Firefox and browse to a few pages
  3. Verify (through Gnome Activity Journal or other interfaces) that pages are being logged into Zeitgeist
  4. Switch to Private Browsing mode (Tools > Start Private Browsing)
  5. Browse to a few pages that are distinguishable from what you've viewed lately
  6. Exit private browsing mode
  7. Go back into Gnome Activity Journal (or Sezen, etc.) and see if the sites visited in Private Browsing mode are logged
  
  Software Versions:
  * Data source for Firefox (extension): 0.1 compiled from Launchpad trunk (but I'm unsure which revision—I'll compile the latest as soon as I can)
  * Firefox: 3.6.12 from the official Ubuntu repositories
  * Ubuntu 10.04 (Lucid).
