83938 - Search term of "pr0n" "porn" will result in numerous windows.

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:0.9+) Gecko/20010603
BuildID:    2001060308

Entering "pr0n" or "porn" results in numerous windows. (Note: not infinite,
sooner or later you will get a search result.)

Strangely enough, other search terms don't do this (such as "foo", "bar" etc. 
both of which are not found, just like "porn" isn't found.)

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Visit www.crosswalk.com
2.  Enter "pr0n" or "porn" into the search field (leave the "directory" choice
as the default.  
3.  Hit enter or click on the Search button.

Actual Results:  A ton of windows were spawned, until the site finally decided
to return "no search results on porn were available".

Expected Results:  As with other search terms, results should not incur
additional windows, rather the results should open in the current page.

This is with a standard moz build.

It opens exactly 45 blank windows.

Reproduced on Win98 build 2001060504 - opens 46 blank pop-ups for me.

I get a similar number (~45) on Linux, build 2001060321. Platforms=all?

Is this a prank? I tried on Netscape 4.74 and IE 6 beta and the windows didn't
pop up.

No, this is certainly not a prank.  However, you are not likely to see this bug
in anything other than Mozilla (which this bug database is intended for, and on
which product this bug was filed.)

Don't you think it's a little weird that searching for porn on a religious
website would cause this behavior? That's why I tried checking on other browsers
to see if the website itself was the culprit

I'm not getting any pop-up windows following these steps with 2001062104 Win2k.
Maybe it was a bug (or a feature), and they changed their page.
