Details

Clicking on the link in the test page causes Mozilla to start spawning multiple
save as dialogs. It doesn't matter if you dismiss the box, cancel it, save as or
open, dialogs keep spawning. The only way to stop them is to close the browser.
However, if you close the browser while any dialogs are still open, you get an
application error in mozilla.exe.

Further investigation established the bug is present on Linux.

The bug is only reproducible from the ftp site in the example link. Other ftp
sites (mozillas for example) do not exhibit this behaviour.

It appears from network analysis that the FTP server is choking on the request
and Mozilla tries again, ad infinitum.
ok, confirmed on mac as well, so marking OS=all.
I did a network trace and it seems the ftp server is choking on something and
mozilla keeps retrying.

I don't know how relevant this is, but when I end task'd Mozilla after testing
the problem, I got this illegal operation on win 98

MOZILLA caused an invalid page fault in

That's right, I forgot to add that.  If you kill the window (to stop the dialogs
from constantly spawning), mozilla crashes shortly after.  I have a talkback

Works for me.  I could not reproduce this with today's build.  Please reopen if
this still occurs and provide your exact configuration.

Doug, what configuration information do you need?
