IE could be spoofed by this code : <a href="http://www.mozilla.org/"><table><tr><td><a href="http://www.google.com/">http://www.mozilla.org</td></tr></table></a> Firefox is not affected by that, but with a minor change it could lead to a sort of url spoof. This code affects Firefox in a particular way : <a href="http://www.mozilla.org/"><table><tr><td><a href="http://www.google.com/">http://www.mozilla.org</a></td></tr></table></a> (note the additional </a>). Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Insert the following code in an html file : <a href="http://www.mozilla.org/"><table><tr><td><a href="http://www.google.com/">http://www.mozilla.org</a></td></tr></table></a> 2. Single click on the malformed link. The site opens in the current tab and your are directed to the correct site (the same that's written in the status bar). 3. Do a "ctrl-click" on the same link. A new tab is opened but you are directed to the wrong site. 4. Do a "left-click -> Open in new tab" on the same link. A new tab is opened but you are directed to the wrong site. Actual Results: Step 2 : The browser goes to http://www.mozilla.org/ Step 3 : The new tab goes to http://www.google.com Step 4 : The new tab goes to http://www.google.com Expected Results: The links used by the browser to open a new tab (in step 3 and 4) should have been the same link as in step 2. I tested this bug with a new blank profile. The results where the same. I also tested this bug on linux and Firefox 0.10.1 PR with a blank profile too (Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20040914 Firefox/0.10.1)
