I wrote a comment myself on this page, regarding the upcoming linux plugin for
Mozilla.

Instead of presenting a "wrong link" information page (like in Netscape),
Mozilla crashed.

the URL is inaccessable.  Can somebody attach a test case?

Comment 3

[Loco]

Here is a testcase, but its not failing.  Simple test, missing </a> from the end.

Also changing summary to reflect issue.

http://www.javalobby.org/lastweek.html - click on the link  under the "JAVA on
Mozila/Linux" article ('Look at this bugreport. Can't wait to try it.')
It still crashes most of the time (Build ID 2000100408)

This WORKSFORME in Mac 10-09-10 build.

HA!!!  I think I got a grip on this.  Methinks it has nothing to do with not 
closing the <a>.  The problem seems to be that it was targeting the link no a 
non-existent frame-noted under bug #52656:
http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=52656

The time frame certainly seems about right (the problem disappeared with 10-5 
builds or so).  

Marking Duplicate!  Yay!  (will feel really silly if I'm wrong, but I'll treasure 
the satisfaction for now)
