[bugs]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.13) Gecko/20060410 Firefox/1.0.8
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8.0.4) Gecko/20060508 Firefox/1.5.0.4

window.close() causes the browser to crash if called from within an onreadystatechange handler for an XMLHttpRequest object that was used in an onsubmit handler for a form.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Click the "Launch Demonstration" link to open the demonstration in a Javascript popup window.
2. Click the Submit button in the new window
3. Click the OK button in the Javascript alert.
4. The browser should crash. If it doesn't, try pressing the tab button.
Actual Results:  
Browser crashes.

Expected Results:  
Should have closed the popup window.

Tested under a clean install (default prefs, no extensions or themes).

Also reproduced under Windows 2000: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-GB; rv:1.8.0.4) Gecko/20060508 Firefox/1.5.0.4

Must be run in a popup window, because it uses window.close()

It doesn't matter what you request with the XMLHttpRequest object.

Thanks for the report (and great testcase), Andrew. Fortunately, this crash will be fixed in Firefox 1.5.0.5.
