User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X 10.4; en-US; rv:1.9.1.7) Gecko/20091221 Firefox/3.5.7

Got an e-mail that was spam, then could not break away from the web site that sent it. The site was:

sofoh.professionaldirty.com

Had to force quit on the browser a few times. And every time I reopened the Firefox browser, the same unwanted window would pop up. Actually had to do that many times before I could beat, with the curser W combination, the OK button that kept showing up, that asked me if I wanted to stay on their site.

I am using Mac OS X 10.4.11

  Machine Name:	Power Mac G4 (AGP graphics)
  Machine Model:	PowerMac3,1
  CPU Type:		PowerPC G4  (2.9)


Reproducible: Always
