User-Agent: Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; de-AT; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040222 all links are german, sorry for that. i clickt a linke i have seen in this discussion: http://www.heise.de/newsticker/foren/go.shtml?read=1&msg_id=5162404&forum_id=53288 it opens popup-windows until the browser crashes, even if popup-blocking is activated. Somewhere in the discussion someone noted that moz. 1.7a is not affected, others reported that other browsers are affekted as well, like konqueror. i can't test 1.7, but "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; de-AT; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040222" (my browser) is volunarable. under http://www.heise.de/newsticker/foren/go.shtml?read=1&msg_id=5166213&forum_id=53288 is a first analyse of the script (german). the autor asked for anyone with access to the bugzilla database to fill in this bug, which is hereby done ;) Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. open http://shortLink.us/2747 with javascript and popup-blocking enabled Actual Results: browser crashed after i couldn't close the windows as fast as they opened Expected Results: block the popups
> Somewhere in the discussion someone noted that moz. 1.7a is not affected, That's because this got fixed after 1.6. And this has nothing to do with the JS engine.
