“wireshark cookie dump” appears in mail

0

I've recently installed Wireshark on my Macbook Pro. Since doing so, whenever I head over to http://jsfiddle.net, all of the input fields are pre-populated with

Wireshark Cookie Dump:

OKCancel

So I went ahead and did a Google search for "Wireshark Cookie Dump" and discovered thousands of results with the exact same problem at various sites across the internets.

Why on earth is this happening, and how can it be stopped?

FYI, I'm running Firefox 6.0.2 as my browser, and this doesn't seem to be happening in any of my other browsers (Safari, Opera)

It's probably happening because the Cookie Injector script is either installed on your machine or perhaps being served up to your machine by jsfiddle.net. Wireshark does not itself install that script.
