895812 - sandbox iframe with allow-popups results in 0x80004005 when trying to window.open in a nested iframe

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 766282

(Core :: DOM: Core & HTML, defect)

Description

Attachment: This zip contains 4 files to reproduce the problem. See index.html for description

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; rv:22.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/22.0 (Beta/Release)
Build ID: 20130618035212

Steps to reproduce:

I made a HTML5 page with a iframe which is sandboxed with options allow-same-origin allow-scripts allow-popups allow-forms. In this iframe another iframe is loaded. In that iframe a window.open event is called. This call results in a error NS_ERROR_FAILURE: Component returned failure code: 0x80004005 (NS_ERROR_FAILURE) [nsIDOMJSWindow.open]


Actual results:

No pop-up was shown, I got an error: NS_ERROR_FAILURE: Component returned failure code: 0x80004005 (NS_ERROR_FAILURE) [nsIDOMJSWindow.open]


Expected results:

The popup had to be showed, because allow-popups is allowed in the sandbox attribute of the upper iframe.

Independently reproduced on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS with Firefox 24.0 (although simply trying to open another page in a new tab, not in a popup). Are there any plans to address this issue?
