Package: iceweasel
Version: 2.0.0.6-0etch1
Severity: normal
Middle clicking on something that's not a link or text widget sends
the content of the clipboard to Google. This is slightly bad when you
accidently middle click and especially bad when the clipboard content
contains a password you're trying to paste somewhere but you miss the
text widget when pasting.
The workaround is to set the about:config middlemouse.contentLoadURL
to false.
IMO Debian should ship with a middlemouse.contentLoadURL of false and
document the choice in README.Debian.

Version: 115.12.0esr-1+rm
src:iceweasel has been superseded by src:firefox-esr in version
45.0esr-1 in March 2016. Transitional packages to ease upgrades were
provided in the wheezy, jessie, stretch and buster releases. The
transitional packages have been removed finally before the bullseye
release in August 2021.
After regular security support for buster ended in August 2022 and LTS
support ended in June 2024, I'm closing the remaining bug reports now.
