 1. type: javascript:location="http://yahoo.com"; in the location bar, the

those things are working well in NS4.7

This looks like a dupe of bug 37463 (see 42965).

I agree that the lockup caused by 
	javascript:location="http://yahoo.com";
typed into the location bar is a dup of bug 37463.

But both 
	javascript:alert("hi");
	javascript:document.write("<h1>hi</h1>");
don't cause mozilla to freeze for me on PC/Linux build 2000062020.
But I don't get an alert popup either.

If there are problems with these last two javascript typeins, then I suggest to
reopen this bug (or find an already existing one that covers this). Note that
bug 31818 (or one of its dupes) used to cover the problem that javascript:
typeins did not work, but that bug has been marked fixed recently.
