while using mozilla/firefox, occasionally when i put an address in to the
address bar, i get a popup with no text, just a yes/no option. this can happen
again and again, ie after the first blank popup i'll get a second one with
ayes/no option. i believe that it is a security quiry about continuing to the
next page.

Reproducible: Sometimes

1.type in an address into the address bar.
2.after hitting enter, a blanki popup appears, hit y.
3.may occure again.
Actual Results:  
the popup window will go weather you click yes or no, however another one may
appear.

Expected Results:  
the popup window shouldn't appear at all.

bug still appears after changing my theme.

For which FF version do you see that? (the UA above is for Mozilla 1.7.2)

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.
