about:global in Netscape

[Wilfred Drew]

I got this "tip" from Tip World published via e-mail by PC World.

GLOBAL SLEUTHING

Don't remember the URL of a site you visited two weeks ago? Want to find
out what your unsuspecting children do when                          
they use your system? You can find out where your browser has been in
the past month by typing about:global in the                           
address book. The resulting page may be saved by selecting File, Save
As, so you can hold it as evidence -- or just keep                     
referring to it in the future. 

Why does Netscpae put such items into their program?  That would mena if
I left my machine on in my office, someone could come in and see where I
have been surfing.  Where is this information stored?  Is it in a
separate file?
