opera 9 is out

They're only modifiable by the owner.
I don't see any need for a sticky bit - why would other user accounts want to write stuff into my mozilla profile?
Calum:
i think i may have heard about this problem in previous opera versions by the way, i could be wrong. still, if that is right, then failing to fix it in this version is truly worthy of internet explorer, i'd say (unless saying so puts me on the hate list of the more conservative members who also think the hidden files don't exist either)
H_TeXMeX_H:
I believe that if there are hidden files they are REALLY hidden, to find them is no easy task ... might as well assume they aren't there at all ...
Jack2000:
hidden files ?
why would you need
one just store the data in a malloced file
with no directory and access directly by address from the fs :)

I see your point and kind of agree, it's such an easy thing to fix and if they knew about it before there's no excuse, but there again the Linux version probably isn't at the top of their list of priorities, also note that it only effects people who have more than one user account - it's probably quite near the bottom of their bug list.

I don't hate you for it, I just don't think you're being very logical about the hidden files thing, you know all the facts, it's up to you to draw your own conclusions whether they be logical or illogical.
