Open mozilla and enter the url "file:///c:\aux" (w/o quotes) into the address
bar. Mozilla 'looks for' this location indefinitely.  Now exit mozilla.  Observe
that the mozilla.exe process is still running.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open mozilla and enter the url "file:///c:\aux" (w/o quotes) into the address
bar.
2. Exit mozilla
3.

Actual Results:  
Mozilla searches for c:\aux indefinitely.  After you close the browser,
Mozilla.exe process remains.

Expected Results:  
1. It should do nothing when you enter "file:///c:\aux".
2. Closing browser should kill the process.
