Details

User-Agent:       
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040214 Firefox/0.8

The URL http://raus.de/crashme/ causes Firefox to open up loads of popup
windows, causing really high system loads / hangs. I had no other option but to
kill all instances of Firefox when I was linked to this site.

And yes, it opens popup windows although I have the 'Block Popup' option
checked. The (i) logo in the lower left corner also shows that some of the
windows were blocked, but not all.

Maybe you can have a look at the site and find some workaround.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.
2.
3.
no popups for me just one resized window moving around the desktop

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7a) Gecko/20040217
Firefox/0.8.0+ (scragz)
WFM build 20040217, Windows XP. Only seing the window movement.
(actually, this is the same as bug 235462). The analysis linked to in that bug
indicates that this is an obfuscated popup window generator triggered by load
and mouseover events. This is no longer a problem in Mozilla 1.7/Firefox 0.8; it
was handled by bug 197919.
