(Firefox :: General, defect)

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8.1.3) Gecko/20061201 Firefox/2.0.0.3 (Ubuntu-feisty)
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8.1.3) Gecko/20061201 Firefox/2.0.0.3 (Ubuntu-feisty)

If an SVG file contains a raster image inside it with syntax like this:
xlink:href="data:image/png;base64...
and "View Image" is selected from the context-menu, the raster image is displayed properly, but the location bar seems to display many random characters overlapping unreadably. The site's icon is also displayed incorrectly.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open an SVG file that contains a raster image inside it, like http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/3/3c/Snellen.svg
2. Right-click on the raster image and select "View Image" from the context menu.
3. Observe location bar.
Actual Results:  
Location bar displays garbage characters and site icon is corrupted.

Expected Results:  
Location bar should display something sensible, and site icon should be displayed as usual.

WFM. Right clicking and choosing View Image changes the URL bar to a long data: URL, but the text is not overwritten by itself in the URL bar like the image in comment 1

It's just a long data: URL.  It works fine on Mac trunk.  See bug 302294 and friends.  This might be fixed on trunk on Linux already too.

Duping to bug 257660 since its summary is similar (and because I had using dependencies when bugs should be marked as dupes).
