User-Agent: Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040130 At any one of the topic threads at http://episteme.arstechnica.com/ (for example http://episteme.arstechnica.com/eve/ubb.x?a=tpc&s=50009562&f=48409524&m=495000542121), there is a "Reply with Quotes" for each post that pulls up a JavaScript popup. Unfortunately, if two of these "Reply with Quotes" popups are opened at once in Mozilla, the browser closes silently for no professed reason. (For informational purposes, earlier Mozilla versions such as 1.4 crash with a "segmentation fault" error. End result is the same.) Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Go to http://episteme.arstechnica.com/eve/ubb.x?a=tpc&s=50009562&f=48409524&m=495000542121 2. Register or log in, then return to the above page once you're logged in. 3. Click on the double-quote graphic ("") at the upper-right corner of any post. This will pull up a javascript popup. 4. In the original mozilla window, click on the double-quote graphic again. Actual Results: Mozilla closed all its windows unexpectedly. Expected Results: Well, this is debatable. The current ArsForum code driving episteme.arstechnica.com is currently in a rather beta-ish state. Judging by how Konqueror behaves in this case, the ArsForum code wants to either replace the first popup window with a second one of identical size, or fill the first popup with new contents (I can't tell which, but the practical end-result should be the same). While IMHO this isn't really an ideal behavior for the ArsForum code (it should create a second popup without destroying the first), Mozilla itself should handle it rather more gracefully than simply crashing. Judging from the page source, the crash is occurring in the JavaScript function sizePopup(). I'm sadly unable to debug this further without the ArsForum code handy, though...

Very unlikely to be JS engine.... if you can attach the page to this bug (save as "web page, complete"), that would help -- needing a login to test makes it a little difficult to do so...
