Package: mozilla-tabextensions
Version: 1.14.2005032801-1
Severity: important

(Possible security problem, see below.)

When I select text that belongs to a link (while pressing the mod1
key), the selection is performed, but the link is also downloaded
as soon as I release the mouse button, as if I clicked on the link
(with the key pressed).

When I was using Mozilla, this bug occurred when the link had a
target="_blank" attribute (in other cases, not always). Now I'm
using Firefox, and this bug always occurs.

Note that other users of the machine may be able to access the
downloaded information (depending on the user choices), though
a download has never been requested. This is a security problem
if the link contains private or confidential information.
