 I was using Tor 8.5.3 with windows 10, and I also had a Mozilla Firefox
 window open in  addition to Tor. Tor security level was set to "safest".

 In Mozilla Fireox, I had just done a search for a word using DuckDuckgo,
 and that word was still populated in that firefox search window.

 When i clicked on an unrelated link using Tor to a "Matrix" download page,
 I noticed that my search term that I had left in the duckduckgo search
 window in Mozilla Firefox, was now written in the bottom of my Tor Browser
 window, below the Matrix item I had clicked on.

 How did this cross-application leak occur between regular Firefox and TOR?
 The Matrix link was totally unrelated to any results of my duckduckgo
 search in Firefox.
