Attachment: testcase

Happens on trunk too, Seamonkey and Firefox.

Steps:
  - popup is blocked
  - Showing it (via infobar or statusbar item) will print Components.Stack, a
nono.

I'm positive we had and fixed this bug at one point :-(

Comment 3

[Doron Rosenberg (IBM)]

So should we start considering doing a security smoketest for releases?

Comment 4

[Hixie (not reading bugmail)]

"start considering"???

You _should_ be doing regression testing of all security fixes. In an automated
fashion, ideally, on every nightly. Preferably as part of the tinderbox tests so
it goes orange when a security thing like this regresses.

I'm actually not convinced this was fixed. A very similar problem was fixed, but
I think this one simply slipped through the cracks and noone noticed (or at
least told us) until now. Patch coming up.

Yes, I was thinking of bug 235457.

stack->Push(cx) is treated as fallible in many of our other calls.  Seems like
we should
early-out if this fails, since we can be in a world of hurt.  (This world of
hurt,
specifically.)

Hi Doron,

Would you please compose a new test case for mozilla? With this case you
provided here I can't reproduce this bug on mozilla/linux while the os of this
bug is set to all. Please send it to [e-mail].
Thanks.

In Seamonkey, just go to the testcase, right click on the buttom-right (in the
statusbar) icon for the blocked popup, and choose "Show blabla".
