275099 - multiple popups, when site is listed with more then one subdomain

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Dirk Spannaus]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; de-DE; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041108 Firefox/1.0
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; de-DE; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041108 Firefox/1.0

In my allowed popup list I have banking.1822direkt.com and www.1822direkt.com,
now when I open the above mentioned link, the popup appears wtice instead of one
time. Using 1822direkt.com  would be the solution, but it looks like the pop-up
blocker is not correctly using the subdomain information.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. have more then one entry of the same site, but different subdomain
2. go back to the site that opens the popup,
3. now x windows will appear instead of one...

(you may be restarting the browser / machine in between, as when I last time
tried to reproduce without restarting, the behaviour was correct. It the
appeared again today.)

Actual Results:  
2 pop-up windows instead of one...

Expected Results:  
open still one pop-up, because www.1822direkt.com doesn't even match
banking.1822direkt.com

I'm not sure, whether this could be a potential security problem, as why does it
open the popup for a nonmatching subdomain from the allowed list?

Works for me with FF 1.0 en-US on WInNT4. I can not reproduce it. Put the 2 3rd
level domains in the allowed list and open the URL, only one popup opens.

This is an automated message, with ID "auto-resolve01".

This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that
bug reports that have not been confirmed by a second user after three months are
highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code.

While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we
are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce
this problem in the latest version of the product (see below for how to obtain a
copy) or, for feature requests, if it's not present in the latest version and
you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved.
Thank you for your help in this matter.
