Bug#717115: iceweasel: middle-click in Twitter pastes the contents of the clipboard instead of the primary selection

Thu Jul 18 11:31:26 UTC 2013

Control: tags -1 security

It seems that the cause is that under some conditions, a web site can
read the contents of the clipboard (even when the user didn't request
to paste it). This is a security/privacy problem.

This bug can be avoided by setting dom.event.clipboardevents.enabled
to false.
