267003 - Some URL patterns are impossible to enter in the popup blocker options

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[red.ghost]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20041026 Firefox/1.0RC1
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20041026 Firefox/1.0RC1

The popup blocker systematically blocks popup with a certain URL pattern (due to
whitespaces?) - for instance
http://marrach.skotos.net:8080/SAM/Prop/Neoct%3AWriting%3AVerbs%3Acompose/popup?actor=Marrach%3Aplayers%3AO%3Aostane&addressee=&optsig=&sign=&target=%5BNPC%3Amisc%3Ascroll%5D%2342152&this=Neoct%3AWriting%3AVerbs%3Acompose&zid=1775&arghash=4270928949590774294af5e18ad9e94eCreating%20a%20SkyWriter%20popup%20window!
When clicking on the "Firefox has prevented this site from opening a popup
window" bar, and then "Edit popup blocker options" nothing appears in the
"Address of web site" field. Attempts to manually edit the hostperm.1 file
haven't been successful either.

URLs such as:

http://mail.expertit.uk:3000/WorldClient.dll?Session=BBHQFTS&View=Options-Prefs&ReturnJavaScriptConfirm=yes&Save=Yes&User:PreviewPaneWidth=408&UTF8=Yes

are also blocked by the popup blocker even though the domain mail.expertit.uk is
whitelisted.

Is there a live site still around that exhibits this behavior? Additionally, can someone attach a testcase which exhibits this behavior?

This appears to have been fixed in FF2.0.3, it has been such a long time since this was reported!

Many thanks

Resolving as WFM since I'm not sure what bug fixed this.
