Description of problem: Firefox reacts to URIs that are "pasted" into the main window by dereferencing them. That's a highly useful feature. For a while now, it reacts to *text* that gets pasted by submitting it to Google and trying to dereference the first search result. That's a privacy leak: Using X11, pasting text inadvertently into firefox is a relatively frequent failure mode in user interactions, induced e.g. by mis-clicking right next to a link with the middle mouse button when trying to follow it in a new window / tab; there's a related usability problem that arises with laptops' touchpads reacting in unintended ways. Firefox should not by default pass non-URI text that is pasted into its main window to a search engine, but report an error. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 1.5.0.10
