Details

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64) AppleWebKit/535.19 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/18.0.1025.162 Safari/535.19 Steps to reproduce: <html> <head> <script type="text/javascript"> function openMailClient(){location.href='mailto:fake@adress.com';} function boot(){var $timer=setInterval(openMailClient,10);}; </script> </head> <body onload="boot();"> </body> </html> Actual results: If there is no mail client configured the screen is flooded with choose mail client window else if there is, for example Thunderbird, Firefox opens a lot of mail windows and the system hangs. Expected results: I think that there should be warning with deny open action option.
I'm not sure that this is an issue that would really be considered a bug. It is definitely not a security issue.
