This isn't as much a typical vulnerability as it is poorly-designed behavior. I've noticed when cutting/pasting data (unix style, w/middle mouse button) into a Web form, any attempt to paste into an area without first clicking on the input will result in firefox doing a google search on the contents of the paste. If I happen to be cutting/pasting confidential data, this is bad.
..please. Do you paste confidential data into webforms often? :D You can turn off that behaviour, you know. about:config in your mozilla/firefox and look for some option that looks nice.
