Minefield freezes only for a few seconds. It seems the five consecutive slashes are the culprit, when I leave only two slashes, the problem disappears. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create a bookmark pointing to file://///test/test.html 2. Click on the bookmark Actual Results: The browser becomes unresponsive. Expected Results: The browser should show "URL does not exist" error message.
It's because you're trying to access a non-available Windows UNC share.
