Any page with this as the body tag will crash Mozilla if you try to switch to any other window: <BODY onBlur="window.focus()"> I'm using build 2001021503 for Linux, but we've confirmed that it also applies to a recent Windows version of Mozilla, as well as NS4 and IE5. Seems to be similar to bug 25434, except that the latter bug claims to be fixed and only appeared to apply to form elements, not browser windows. A mallicous website could use a popup window to automatically invoke this bug thus terminating your browser.

Looks like bug 65581 has grown to include this bug. That bug's third test case is the same as this bug's problem. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 65581 ***
