The URL has the following sloppy HTML: <link REL="STYLESHEET" HREF="file:///A|/newhtml/styles1.css" TYPE="text/css"> Once you click on the link that contains this HTML, Windows nags with a popup saying that there is no floppy in the A: drive, abort retry ignore. Every choice repeats the dialog. I'm not about to put in a floppy, I'm thinking I've hit a malicous web site and I'm lucky it's hit a problem while trying to scan all my drives. Mozilla should handle the abort or ignore choices. At least the abort, which is what I kept hitting until I viewed the site through another mechanism. I'm marking this major just because you're hung until you put in a floppy, and I've been in situations where there were no floppies available.

reopening - annoying dialog in download manager is one thing. Remote sites pointing to removable drives shouldn't bring up a dialog at all, even if it's possible to cancel it.

Attached file testcase
opening this page will, in many cases, either cause floppy/CD drives to spin and/or cause Windows to pop-up a dialog asking the user to insert a disk into the drive.

Summary: <link> refering to floppy will hang browser → <link> or <img> refering to floppy/removable drive causes dialog/drive spinning/hang
given previous arguments, I'll leave this as a separate bug, but we do already have a bug about <img>, so I'll undo my expansion of the summary here.
Summary: <link> or <img> refering to floppy/removable drive causes dialog/drive spinning/hang → <link> refering to floppy/removable drive causes dialog/drive spinning/hang
Whiteboard: DUPEME
Now bug 69070 is fixed. From remote documents are links to local img and css not allowed. I get now with Mozilla 1.8a5 or Firefox 1.0 from the testcase Security Error: Content at https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/attachment.cgi?id=151134&action=view may not load or link to file:///A:/dummyfile.gif. etc. from the URL (css links points to D: and img to A:) Security Error: Content at http://www.filmsnobs.com/www/jimmyo/reloaded.htm may not load or link to file:///D|/newhtml/styles1.css. etc. So I resolve this bug as dupe of bug 69070. Feel free to reopen if you disagree. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 69070 ***
