This is certainly something to keep in mind, but nothing to worry too much about, I think. Anyone who knows anything about computers knows that everything you do leaves a trail at some level. This is just one more example of that.
This sort of information might be useful to marketers, which could be the major danger. But how long do you think it will take for some clever programmer to come up with a Firefox extension or a Greasemonkey script to block this particular exploit?

By the way, I just found a Firefox extension that addresses this vulnerability: Stanford Safe History.

I am guessing not too long.
