Can you give precise steps to reproduce that don't require having a username and
password?  Also, can you attach a PNG screenshot?

This is not a popup, it's paypal (the real thing) showing up in a frame on the
site because of a problem with the site. I haven't unravelled what the original
bad URL is, but we couldn't parse out the correct site so we did an "I'm feeling
lucky" search on https, for which the result is paypal.

leaving aside 1) shouldn't do keyword searches on subframes--apparently fixed in
1.5--and 2) the uselessness of keyword:https and arguments over "i'm feeling
lucky" vs plain search (bugs on file), this is a problem with the site
constructing an invalid URL. -> tech evangelism.

I just got the same error by going to home page, and clicked on find a job. This
happened before login.

(This doesn't happend with IE - excuse my language)

I have a screen shot but not being a techy person, I could do with a little
advice on how to send it to you.

I don't need a screenshot anymore.  Dan figured out the problem (see comment 2).
