454134 - data: and javascript: URLs in the URL field no longer cause "URL:" to become a link

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(bugzilla.mozilla.org :: General, defect)

Description

[Smokey Ardisson (offline for a while; not following bugs - do not email)]

On bmo, javascript: and data: URLs used to be clickable (i.e., the "URL" text before the URL field), though they first produced a pop-up <div> to verify that you really wanted to click them.

Currently, however, they are not "linkified" at all, which means they aren't useful anymore as quick testcases or where clicking is required.  The old system with the pop-up <div> warning seemed like a good balance between security and convenience.

In this case it'll be the link itself that's clickable rather than the URL header (that wasn't very discoverable).

Actually, when you're not logged in, the link is clickable

This was deployed a long time ago on 3.2, forgot to close the bug.

The behavior changed (we have a javascript popup dialog now instead of the <div> block), but should still generally work in 3.4.
