[Bug 202488] [NEW] Firefox crashes when popups blocked & on certain links (https)

[Stuart]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: firefox

Any website that tried to create a popup when popup blocker is active
causes all Firefox sessions to grey out and freeze.

In addition, without popup blocker on, some other links (example:
https://secure.baa.com/BAA/BAABook.ASP?WCI=Confirmation# from a
completed booking) also consistently cause same symptoms.

The above is repeatable.

I am using AMD64 processor machine, 2.0.0.12 Firefox.

cat /etc/lsb-release gives:
DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu
DISTRIB_RELEASE=7.10
DISTRIB_CODENAME=gutsy
DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 7.10"

dpkg -S /usr/bin/firefox gives:
firefox: /usr/bin/firefox
