Creepy: Chromium is accessing keys and certs in ~/.mozilla folder?
This lsof output says chromium is accessing files from the .mozilla/firefox folder in my home directory! What does this mean? The files look like keys and certificates.
(BTW Firefox is not open, and ~/.mozilla symlinks to the .mozilla location shown below) Thanks for looking - C Code:
chromium- 3381 cb 19r REG 8,33 114688 831 /media/cb/ce1/cb/ref/.mozilla/firefox/gjycy6rl.default/cert8.db |

I doubt Chromium itself, as a project, has any creepy intent.
But I am unnerved by it accessing keys and certificates in Firefox's folder, in my home folder. Why would it do that? |

so that I did not have to manually insert the path in Chromium for flash videos to play. Chromium borrows a lot from Mozilla folders so you don't have to manually access them yourself to get things working. |
Thanks rokytnji, that's interesting and reassuring.
