No security bug, because you do get the dialog which allows you to gain control
over your computer (and locking up your computer would not be considered an
exploit either).

> Everything works fine in other browsers including mozilla 1.7.

So which exact browser did you find this problem with? The useragent reported is
that of Mozilla 1.7. Please also try with Mozilla 1.7.3.
