when you call alert() in JavaScript without parameters Firefox 2.0 will crash 

Reproducible: Always




just show an empty alert box!

Calling |alert()| in the JS Console just throws an exception (which it's not letting me copy for some reason). Can you attach a testcase that crashes or get a Talkback ID for the crash? http://kb.mozillazine.org/Talkback

Summary: firefox crashed → Firefox crashes when calling alert() with no arguments
Version: unspecified → 1.8 Branch
Loading javascript:alert() works for me in Firefox 2.0.0.11 and trunk on Linux.
The error console says (which is expected):

Error: uncaught exception: [Exception... "Not enough arguments [nsIDOMWindowInternal.alert]"  nsresult: "0x80570001 (NS_ERROR_XPC_NOT_ENOUGH_ARGS)"  location: "JS frame :: javascript:alert() :: <TOP_LEVEL> :: line 1"  data: no]

Please reopen the bug when you have a testcase that causes a crash.
