Using the latest nightly build:
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.3a) Gecko/20021128 Phoenix/0.4

Typing javascript:window.open() into the URL bar causes Phoenix to crash 100% of
the time.

After rebooting,
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.3a) Gecko/20021128 Phoenix/0.4
no longer crashes upon typing javascript:window.open() into the URL bar.

I don't see any problem with javascript: or javascript:window.open()

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.4a) Gecko/20030410 Phoenix/0.5+

javascript: opens the JS console, and javascript:window.open() opens a new
window.    Does somebody know something that isn't posted here, or has this been
fixed?

Recommend INVALID unless Blake knows what he meant here 8 months ago...

The bug was that typing javascript: in the urlbar opened the js console that
seamonkey uses instead of our own. Seems fixed now.
