To reproduce this:
1. make a form and set target parameters(or attribute) value to "foobar"
2. create account and password input fields to form
3. open a new window with javascript, give it a name e.g. "foobar"
4. submit the form and when the password manager asks what to do with account&password pair any answer will result "about:blank" page in new window

Page is correctly loaded when the password manager does not ask anything.

In FF 1.5.0.4 if one answers "Never for this site" the browser will crash - always. Presumes that current address is not on Password managers "Passwords never saved" page.

Is there a webpage where I can see the problem, or could you attach it to the bug?

Reporter, do you still see this problem with the latest Firefox 2? If not, can you please close this bug as WORKSFORME. Thanks! If it is still a problem, can you please attach a testcase or supply an URL as per comment 1?

Attachment: TESTCASE: a simple login form with javascript to open a new window

This testcase will display a login form with fields for username and password, as well as a submit button.  There is javascript in the testcase that will launch a new window (in this case a tab) as soon as the page loads.  Enter in a username and password and click submit.  The password manager should display and behave properly.  Submitting should yield a 404 message in the new tab but the url will read "http://www.google.ca/?user=USERNAME&password=PASSWORD", where USERNAME is the username you entered and PASSWORD is the password you entered.

NOTE: depending on security settings, the security bar may block the new window event.  If this happens, you will see the yellow security bar with a button "options".  Click this and select to allow popups and reload the page.

Using the testcase I just created, I have tested this on both the latest Minefield nightly and Firefox 2.0.0.4 with no problems.

If you are still having this problem, please upgrade to 2.0.0.4 and try again.  If you are still having problems after that, please comment on this bug.

If you do not reply back in a week, this bug will be closed as WFM.  At which point, you will have to open a new bug if you are having further issues.
