User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux i686; rv:6.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/6.0 Build ID: 20110812234425 Steps to reproduce: I went to link http://spacewords.gamesforlanguage.com/ on my pc, then followed the instructions for the phone. After connecting the phone to the game, I pressed the phone's back button and I was still controlling the game. Went back into firefox and used the home button, same behaviour. Actual results: (i assume) Javascript didn't lock, game didn't stop after back button or home button were pressed. Expected results: The game's connection should have been closed.
I marked it as a security question because I fear hackers can use it to capture keyboard input or geolocation without the user knowing it's still on.
Could not reproduce in Aurora (future Firefox 8) or Firefox Beta (future Firefox 7). Have not tried Firefox 6 yet. Do you see the problem in newer versions?
I was unable to reproduce it again with Firefox 6. Must have been fixed by something else. Thank you.
