It seems like the javascript: protocol is not fully implemented. It appears as
there has only been hacks done for some special cases and it does not work in
general. The same error applies to the about: protocol.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Set the src or the href to a javascript:stringExpression (or about:string)
on an element that supports plain text files such as script tags, link tag,
object elements...
Actual Results: Nothing
Expected Results: The expression should be evaluated and the browser should
behave exactly as if it loaded a file with the same content as the value of the
expression.
This should probably also be targeted the js group and XP whatever group. All
this is working in both IE5 and NN4.

about:<html> was an IE-only hack that didn't work for many strings
(including "blank" and "mozilla"). Use data:text/html,yourhtml instead for
link hrefs, and data:application/x-javascript,yourjs for script srcs.
It's not clear to me how you're using javascript: as the src for a script tag.
<script src="javascript:'alert(5)'"></script> works fine for me...
Can you make sure that the problem still exists in a newer Mozilla build and
then attach examples of things that doesn't work correctly in Mozilla?

I guess I wasn't clear enough. I'll write a few lines of code. These work:
<script src="javascript:'alert(\'ok\')'"></script>
<iframe src="javascript:'ok'"></iframe>
but these do not:
<link type="text/css" href="javascript:'span { color: red; }'" rel="stylesheet">
@import url("javascript:'span { font-weight: bold; }'");
-moz-binding: url('javascript:...')
to js component.

Browser, not Engine. Reassigning to DOM Level 0 for futher triage -

To work around this bug, you can the data: protocol instead:
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="data:text/css,* { color: red; }">
Summary: javascript: and about: protocol not working → javascript:StringExpression doesn't work as the url of a style sheet

The first two "not working" testcases in comment 2 work for me. The third one
is not this bug, but bug 33961.
So marking worksforme. Will attach verifying testcase in a second.
