Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 205989

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.4b) Gecko/20030516 Mozilla Firebird/0.6
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.4b) Gecko/20030516 Mozilla Firebird/0.6

Example:
javascript: d = window.location.hostname; window.location =
'http://uptime.netcraft.com/up/graph/?mode_u=off&mode_w=on&submit=Examine&site=' + d
^^^normally that bookmarks redirects you to the netcraft site.  It works
correctly in 0.5, mozilla 1.3 and in IE, however in 0.6 it simply displays the
URL as if i did a document.clear(); document.write(window.location);

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. navigate to url
2. type: 'javascript: d = window.location.hostname; window.location =
'http://uptime.netcraft.com/up/graph/?mode_u=off&mode_w=on&submit=Examine&site='
+ d;' into location bar and hit enter

Actual Results:  
window.location gets written to blank page and never gets new value

Expected Results:  
window.location should get set with the new value

Mostly just an annoyance, anyone know of a work-around until it gets fixed?

Uhhh - this sounds like a duplicate of bug #206072 - same thing there: the JS
doesn't work as expected, but shows a new page with the last visited URI. 
Both bugs can be repoduced using latest SeaMonkey.

=> leaving bug "as is" and searching for possible SeaMonkey dupes
