When pasting using X11 clipboard to a firefox window, unless the focus is in a
specific place like the navigation bar or an edit box, it'll assume you want to
go to "keyword:$clipboard", which happens to be an alias for google "I'm feeling
lucky" search.

This often results in google getting to know my passwords and other sensitive
information that I paste in HTML forms.  They already know quite almost all of
my activities on the net;  I think it's too much to let them know my private
info as well.
