Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. visit www.centralpoint.nl 2. open a new tab using ctrl+t (3. open another new tab) Actual Results: the new tab shows a yellow navigation bar in the html area. Expected Results: it should open a blank tab
I see this too. Mac OS X 10.3.5; Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20040913 Firefox/0.10
Attached file "minimal testcase"
Confirming. The offending element is actually a Java applet. The attachment is not really a minimal testcase because it still refers to the Applet on www.centralpoint.nl. It appears here as a light-green rectangle saying "Loading...". I think this might have security implications: basically we're allowing one site to overwrite content of another site displayed on a different tab. The user will think the content comes from a different source than it actually does.
This is as a duplicate of bug 162134.
