I visited http://www.apple.com/itunes/store/buy.html
and clicked on a link to the iTunes Music Store (itms),
last box on the right column:
http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewAlbum?selectedItemId=54068337&playListId=54068335

A »External Protocol Request« pops up with the warning:

»An external application must be launched to handle itms: links. requested link:

itms://longlink

If you were not expecting this request it may be an attempt to exploit a
weakness in that other program. Cancel this request unless you are sure it is
not malicious.

Cancel and Launch both lead to a crash of Mozilla.

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.
