Details

Any page with this as the body tag will crash Mozilla if you try to switch to
any other window:
  <BODY onBlur="window.focus()">
I'm using build 2001021503 for Linux, but we've confirmed that it also applies
to a recent Windows version of Mozilla, as well as NS4 and IE5.  Seems to be
similar to bug 25434, except that the latter bug claims to be fixed and only
appeared to apply to form elements, not browser windows.

A mallicous website could use a popup window to automatically invoke this bug
thus terminating your browser.
Sorry, I submitted this twice.
