in a popup where you can upload a file, after the upload this <body onload="">
function is called:

function refreshParent(locat) {
  window.opener.location.href = locat;
  window.close();
}

on Mozilla 1.6a (and lower) and Firebird 0.7 (PC Microsoft XP SP1 jp and PC
Microsoft Windows 2000 SP4) it crashes the browser.

removing the 'window.close();' part or chaing the function into this:

function refreshParent(locat) {
  window.opener.location.href = locat;
  setTimeout('window.close()',500);
}

will stop the browser from crashing.

Ummm.. gullevek, can you provide a testcase?
It's not clear how and with what parameter refreshParent is called.
either with: 
 
refreshParent(window.opener.location.href); 
 
or with a relative path eg 
 
refreshParent('main_page.php');
Attached file testcase? part 1 (test.html) (obsolete) — 
test.html
load this into the browser and press button to open a popup containing
popup.html (next attachment).
Attached file testcase? part 2 (popup.html) (obsolete) — 
popup.html
this has the onload function refreshing the parent and allegedly crashing
Mozilla.
(you have to download both files to the same directory)

gullevek@gullevek.org:
did I understand everything correctly?
I do not crash with 1.7b and 1.6 on WinXP. Do you?

Only in 1.7b (!) I get an error in the JavaScript console, saying:

Error: uncaught exception: [Exception... "Component returned failure code:
0x80004005 (NS_ERROR_FAILURE) [nsIControllers.removeController]"  nsresult:
"0x80004005 (NS_ERROR_FAILURE)"  location: "JS frame ::
chrome://navigator/content/navigator.js :: Shutdown :: line 727"  data: no]
Reformatted this testcase to be a single file, taking original source and
parsing through the data: URI protocol on the popup (see
http://software.hixie.ch/utilities/cgi/data/data for details).

No crash with same error message (though getting that particular error message
is disturbing in the extreme, just by the way it sounds).
