Steve Manuel claims to have found a workaround to
Firesheep, the
controversial Firefox extension that allows anyone on an insecure open Wifi network to access user login info for
almost every single social network in existence. Firesheep banks on the fact that most social sites default to the HTTP protocol because it's quicker. The already existing Firefox extension
Force TLS attempts to circumvent this by forcing those sites to use the HTTPS protocol, therefore making user cookies invisible to Firesheep.
