VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 91316

(Reporter: rms, Assigned: asa)

Details

Just try to access file:///dev/tty0 (or other devices) either through the url
location bar, <IMG SRC=... or a normal anchor.
You will loose the control of the keyboard, so you have to use the mouse to kill
mozilla and thus regain the control of the keyboard/machine IF you are lucky.
You are the second to file this bug. Marking as duplicate.

Thank you for testing Mozilla!

Well, let's be clear. If you do this from the URL bar, then you're asking for
it. We have little responsibility to protect users who type this into the URL
bar. What we need to prevent is remote sites doing this to the user (follow the
dup chain for more info).
