I and several friends have reproduced this effect repeatedly. We have concluded that if you were to use a text area with a javascript to fill it, you could potentially do a weak DOS attack or possibly even execute malicious code. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Enter a page with a text box that has no character limit. 2. Using the keyboard command for copy and paste, simply hold down control + v copying large amounts of text into the box Actual Results: Firefox dissapeared and quality agent opened. Expected Results: Continued to accept text until machine limit reached. This bug on a variety of system configurations as my machine is a bit older and my friends also have a variety of older and newer hardware. I'm not expert enough to be sure, but it seems to be a potential security flaw and I will mark it as such, I apologize in advance if I am incorrect in doing so.

Making public because there isn't any information here that isn't already public. See bug 302294 and its other dependencies.

I opened a phisher site in Foxfire on Windows XP Profesional 2002 service pack 2 and pasted a 2 Meg text line into a password text box. Now whenever I try to type into a text box, the first character shows up and then Foxfire stops responding. I can open a web site and display it, as long as I do not put in any keyboard input. Other browsers (Netscape and IE) still function. I removed foxfire and loaded the latest release, but it still freezes with any input. I prefer to use Foxfire, but no longer runs.

I cannot input text into any text box on any site using Foxfire! It crashes completely. I have attached the crash dump that microsoft generates.

Ronald, that stack is pretty useless. Please install with talkback and post the talkback ID(s) here. http://kb.mozillazine.org/Talkback

-> resolving as incomplete. Ronald, if you can still reproduce this bug with a current build/release, feel free to reopen, please also include a Talback ID, see Adam's comment #7
