Hello!

I have a FreeBSD11-p1 guest on a windows 10 host machine. Virtualbox is 
5.1.6 and guest additions is virtualbox-ose-additions-5.1.6_1.

Here, clippboard sharing works fine. I need only enable it on machine 
configurations. Drag and drop I never have tested.

Filesystem shared as far I know is not working and a GSOC project was 
proposed to fix it.

Seamless is not enabled also.

I have the same problem with mouse causing firefox to go to previously 
visited webpages. Exactly same behavior.
