Description

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.5) Gecko/20030925

A Network Solutions small popup window appears and subsequently a Mozilla dialog
box about "https is not a registered protocol". The popup can't be closed, the
dialog box comes as a result of it. Can't click OK on the dialog and then click
close on the popup quickly enough. Odd thing is that each time I click OK on the
dialog it adds https one more time. It soon looks like this
"httpshttpshttpshttpshttps is not a registered protocol". I had been to network
solutions website a short time earlier to whois a domain, popup could have come
from there. There were intermediate pages between that one and this one though.
The dialog has a yellow "yield sign" with an exclamation point in it and the
words Alert in it's titlebar. Rightclicking and choosing "close group" in XP
closed the browser but NOT this popup and alert window which kept growing each
time I clicked OK. There was nothing inticating Mozilla in the taskbar at this
time. Task Manager and "end process" of mozilla.exe was the only way to get rid
of it at this point.

WFM on WinXP trunk 2003102304.

Reporter: could you try this again with a recent nightly from
<http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/mozilla/nightly/latest/> ? If it works,
please resolve this bug as WFM. Thanks !
