User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20041017 Firefox/1.0 Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20041017 Firefox/1.0 After loading the URL, the bar telling that popups have been blocked shows. When leaving the page, either clicking on a link or going to a bookmark, Firefox freezes or crashes. I have sent three crash reports via the client. Sometimes, Firefox freezes. Closing the window is successful but you have to go to "Task Manager" to close firefox.exe before starting Firefox again. The error does not occur if the option "Don't alert me whe popups are blocked" is check. i.e. when the yellow bar is set not to appear or when popups are not blocked. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Go to http://www.filesoup.com/forum/ 2. Upon leaving the page, firefox freezes or crashes (see above) 3. If the bar announcing the popup blocks is set to "Don't alert me when popups are blocked" is checked, or when popups are not blocked, the error does not occur. Actual Results: Firefox freezes or crashes. Expected Results: On leaving the page, firefox should not crash. This is a major popup regression which can be abused by websites.
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win 9x 4.90; en-US; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20041017 Firefox/1.0 (MOOX M3) Firefox will crash after clicking on link or pressing the "Back" button. The "Blocked Pop-up" bar appears normally. This has happened to me at the following urls: http://www.chicagotribune.com/ and http://www.stephenbrooks.org/6/ubb.x?a=frm&s=724606111&f=819608064
