Description:
------------
A malicious web page can extract out all the data stored within the autocomplete history of a user's Firefox browser. The web page must convince a user to hold down the left or right-arrow keys then the contents of the autocomplete popup can be read. This may includes the search history box within the browser, or other personal details.
However, it was not possible for synthetic events to cause the text field to be filled with the current entry. Therefore some user interaction is required to enable the web page to steal the contents of the drop-down. If a web page can convince a user to hold down or repeatedly press the left or right-arrow keys, it can systematically grab each entry in the drop-down box.
