its form method is "get" and the url of result page can be too long. 

Then I glanced at location bar, it shows nothing. Blank.

 - Mozilla 1.7 for Mac
 - Firefox 0.9.1 for Mac
 - Netscape 7.1 for Mac

I can't reproduced this problem on
 - Firefox 0.9.1 for Windows

# Sorry for my poor English...

Netscape 7.1 and Firefox 0.9.1 show result page written in Japanese.
But it doesn't matter.

Sorry for bad bug report and summary.
I made a test case and saw what happens.

I couldn't see urls in the Location/Status Bar when that url is:
 - more than 4686 letters (Firefox 0.9.1 for Mac)
 - more than 5466 letters (Mozilla 1.7 for Mac)

But I couldn't reproduce this probrem on Firefox 0.9.1 for Windows.
For your information, my Mac OS X v10.3 have 768 MB memory.

I reproduced this problem on Thunderbird 0.7.1 for Mac too.
This could be used to further phishing scams...?

Someone told me this bug was reproduced on Firefox 1.7 for Windows.
Umm... More tests are needed.

Firefox 1.7? No, "Mozilla 1.7" for Windows.

Can anyone confirm the test case on Windows?

This security-confidential bug is a duplicate of bug 237085.  If nobody objects,
I'll make this bug public and mark it as a dup.
