Status: VERIFIED INVALID

(Toolkit :: Add-ons Manager, defect)

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8b3) Gecko/20050712 Firefox/1.0+
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8b3) Gecko/20050712 Firefox/1.0+

StumbleUpon Extention (2.03) when used in Deer Park Alpha 2 causes the Address
bar to freeze and Back/Forward Buttons to disable. The new page is fully visible
however clicking on any links within it will not change the Address bar or
back/forward buttons. This could result in "phishing" attacks although I am
unsure how to reproduce without StumbleUpon.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Visit a Site (mozilla.org)
2.Press StumbleUpon Button
3.Note the Back/Forward Buttons and the Address Bar

Actual Results:  
Address bar is set to mozilla.org (without http://) while back and forward
buttons are unclickable. Browser displays the new stumbled page perfectly
(cookies work and everything) however clicking on new links does not change
address bar or Back/Forward buttons.

Expected Results:  
Back button should bring you back to mozilla.org while forward will put you back
on the stumble page. Address bar should change to the location of the stumbled page.

I have found similar bugs (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=211959
and https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=267843) however they do not
fully describe this bug nor do they involve stumbleupon. (I also apologize if
this is not what I should be doing with Deerpark bugs...I didn't know where to
put them)

Yes I did. But I thought it necessary to report here as well. I was unsure of
why StumbleUpon worked in 1.0.6 and not deerpark and thought that perhaps people
developing deerpark should know of it. Is this not ok? Because I'll refrain from
repeating that mistake in the future.
