[Bug 208203] [NEW] firefox hangs when clicking on certain links

[James Abley]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: firefox

Ubuntu 7.10 with Firefox 2.0.0.13

http://www.if.com/toolsandcalculators/offsetcalculator.aspx

Clicking on the 'Try our offset calculator' link in the middle of the
page causes Firefox to hang and need killing and restarting to do
anything with it.

The offending markup:

<a href=\"javascript:void(0);\" title=\"Link opens in a popup window -
Try our offset calculator\"
onclick=\"popup=window.open('/toolsandcalculators/offsetcalcpopup.aspx',
'popUp', 'width=1011, height=708, scrollbars=yes, location=no,
menubars=no, toolbar=no, resizable=no');\">Try our offset calculator</a>

Which is produced via document.write()

However, I can view it fine using Firefox 2.0.0.13 on Windows Vista. A
popup window opens and the content is displayed properly.
