I've seen the same thing with Expedia showing up in my Facebook feed. Trips I am planning in Expedia start showing me destination-related restaurants or other attractions in Facebook. The only common element that I can find is that I tend to always use Firefox, and sometimes they might be in adjoining browser tabs.

Could this be cross-pollination be happening in the browser instead? Does an application in one Firefox tab have access to any other tabs, and whatever websites are there?

Would in private browsing block this?

Thanks for any info.
I only have way, way out of date information when it comes to web technologies, so I can only make a reasonable guess. I'll make that guess if no one else chimes in.
