That is essentially what I do. I just tested it with firefox.
1. Started firefox
2. Using the mouse, highlighted the region of interest.
3. Switched to emacs
4. click mouse 1 to position the cursor where I want the data to be
pasted, theen hit the middle mouse button to paste it.
Most of the time, when back in emacs, I wouldn't use the mouse, C-y
pastes the selection as well.
I don't have any special settings in my .emacs relating to this and I
don't use CUA mode. Currently running emacs 23 on Debian unstable.
