User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.4a) Gecko/20030321 Phoenix/0.5 Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.4a) Gecko/20030321 Phoenix/0.5 It appears http://www.upholdfreedom.com/ is running a javascript that causes Mozilla/Phoenix (versions 1.3 (Mozilla) and 0.5 (Phoenix)) to open an infinite(?) number of new browser windows, despite popup window blocking being enabled in both. Does not happen in Internet Explorer (version 5). Disabling Javascript in the settings will prevent this from happening. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. go to http://www.upholdfreedom.com/ 2. repeat :) 3. (ignore content) Actual Results: Both Phoenix and Mozilla open an endless number of new browser windows until terminated in the task manager. Expected Results: It should not have allowed new browser windows to open automatically, despite "window popup blocking" enabled. The crash was reproduced on two seperate Windows PC's, one using the Phoenix version above on a newly installed Win2k system, and the other running Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.3) Gecko/20030312 along with BannerBlind and Multizilla 1.4.0.3e. The problem could not be reproduced using Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.0.1) Gecko/20021003, build 2002100313 on a Linux machine.
WFM mozilla OS X 2003032609 - No popups w/ javascript on & image blocking on
See this in 2003032404 (Win2k)
Verified Win2k 2003032608 Block unrequested pop-ups is checked (with no exceptions).
Attached file testcase (deleted) —
It has to do with an embed. The lines in question seem to be <embed SRC="http://www.upholdfreedom.com/" AUTOSTART=TRUE HIDDEN=TRUE> <noembed><bgsound SRC="http://www.upholdfreedom.com/"></noembed> </embed> Where it recursively calls itself. If you go to the URL with javascript off it gives you a "Plug-in Not Loaded" window: Information on this page requires a plugin for: text/html Navigator can retrieve... blah blah blah... The testcase pops up a new window going to google (so you won't crash your browser doing testing). It is just one line: <embed SRC="http://www.google.com" AUTOSTART=TRUE HIDDEN=TRUE></embed>
this bug has already been reported, although there's no mention to javascript setting affecting the load (but the testcase is the same). Add all your new comments in bug 195030. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 195030 ***
