In order to get away from discussing what someone might know, not know
or thinks he knows, lets concentrate on the technical issue:

1) What files in FF3 contain personal data that reveals browsing activity
(other, of course, than intentionally and explicitly stored bookmarks)?

2) If the user, *for whatever reason* does not trust FF3 to reliably make
such data, upon request via FF3 user interface, unreadable by simple
software forensics, what are the consequences of shredding those files
after each FF3 session using some external tool that the user trusts?

Answers which imply that such concerns are ill-founded are not
helpful - through a process that this list discussion can't influence, the
users involved have already decided that FF3 could not be trusted to
reliably operate as they desire. Likewise for answers that imply there
are other elements that should be considered part of the threat model
(for instance, network monitoring): users already know about those
and have an appropriate defense strategy.
