114096 - coupons.com- My browser disappears.

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Tech Evangelism Graveyard :: English US, defect)

Description

[Joubert Berger]

At first I thought that mozilla had crashed, but I noticed that only the window
in which the I was browsing was gone.  My email windows was still up and I could
just create a new browser window.  

This site displays fine with IE.

Joubert, please provide the build ID you are using. Wfm on 2001120603, Win98.

Comment 3

[Joubert Berger]

Not exactly sure how to figure out build env.

This is the version that was released as 0.9.6.

Under "About" I get:
Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:0.9.6) Gecko/20011120

Is that what you need.  Sounds like this was fixed in a later build.

I'm still seeing this problem on linux 121208 build. The page does some kindo of
window close. Konqueror catches this and offers a dialog asking if you want to
close the window. Mozilla/Netscape6.x don't throw that dialog.

Asa is right... the page is trying to close the window!! :)

Adding the piece of JavaScript from the page that is closing the window:
----------------------------------------
<script LANGUAGE="javascript">
<!--
		 if (navigator.platform !='Win32'){
			//window.navigate('eBricksNR.asp?Alt=' + "" + '&o='+ "");
			window.close();
		 }
		//-->
</script>


They don't like linux!

Well, in this case we may consider that the window.close was the intended
feature in the page (for platforms diff than win98) and that the fact that we
silently close the window is the real report - the summary still is valid since
it says that the browser disappears. 

We may have a bug already on this window.close silent issue.
