221973 - Image loaded from user style sheet opened in default browser (result: infinite browser windows opened)

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Jesse Ruderman]

1. Set your default browser to any Mozilla Firebird build.

2. Put this in userContent.css:

a[href*="mozilla.org"]:before
{ content: url(http://mozilla.org/images/mozilla-16.png) } 
/* Also works with http://www.google.com/images/logo.gif in place of that PNG */

3. Make your home page a local file.

4. Put this in your home page:

<a href="http://www.mozilla.org/">Mozilla</a>

5. Launch a DEBUG build of Mozilla Firebird with no command-line parameters. 
(This bug does not happen in aebrahim's nightlies.)

Result: An endless number of browser windows start appearing, like in bug
220803.  I have to Ctrl+C to stop them.

Changing my default browser to Internet Explorer sort of fixes the problem. 
Instead an infinite number of Firebird windows, I just get one Internet Explorer
window containing http://www.google.com/images/logo.gif and a broken image icon
in the Mozilla Firebird window where the image should be.

I can reproduce with a new profile using these steps.

I can reproduce with a clean tree.  I checked out last night.  I also had this
problem last week with a separate tree.

Possibly related: bug 221324.

Hrm... spawning new windows probably means we're ending up in the URILoader with
this load somehow... why?

Comment 7

[Jesse Ruderman]

Still happens with a build from a few hours ago.

Comment 8

[Peter 'vt100' Schwindt]

Can anyone tell if this still happens?

WFM with Firefox on Mac.  The PNG icons show up fine in my home page.
