I have a dup of this somewhere...(leaving this as such till I find that)

On linux [build 2000112812] it doesn't crash, but it does cause the content
window to freeze.  The menus and toolbar still work.  The stop button is
disabled, but I can type a new URL and then everything seems to return to
normal.

RTF no longer hangs or crashes.

However, as a link-clicked data URL, it tries to save to it's own temp file
(possibly because data: URLs cannot hint a filename?) That is bug 185335.

Also checked HTTP via
http://www.uni-tuebingen.de/fs-politik/bildung/Bildung_Flugi_03.rtf from
duplicate bug 72063

File URL's cause re-download, a known issue w/ file URLs + file handling.

Future bugs should go to file handling.
