User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9) Gecko/2008061015 Firefox/3.0 Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9) Gecko/2008061015 Firefox/3.0 Site is infected with a not very severe, but annoying, threat called "not-virus:BadJoke.HTML.Ketok.a". All attempts of closing a tab containing that site fails, showing only modal (that is, blocking) javascript announcements. The only thing one can do is to kill the Firefox app and start it again - but at next start one cannot choose an option to resume a session... Because it will start again. Opera deals with this and allows user to close the tab (IE is also vulnerable). Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Go to http://www.smouch.net/lol/ 2. Try to close the tab, some javascript window will open. 3. Closing javascript announcement makes only Fx shows another one... Actual Results: Site tab cannot be closed due to constant javascript modal windows appearing. Expected Results: There are 2 possible expected scenarios: 1) Tab should close 2) Javascript announcement can appear, but with an option not allowing site to show another one (to make user able to close the tab) This bug has a long story - Firefox 2 and 3 are vulnerable (I couldn't check previous ones), Internet Explorer also, but Opera works fine with it.
