[gentoo-user] firefox -- too weird!
Hello everybody, OK, so I'm surfin and go to www.thocp.net/index.htm having truncated the link out of curiosity from http://www.thocp.net/biographies/pickette_wayne_interview.htm The window opens way outside the boundaries of the screen and I can't drag the corner back. So I ctrl-w out of there and re-start firefox. Without any other input than firefox 790x565 the browser opens at http://eeaissy.com/eeaissy/modules.php?op=modloadname=My_eGalleryfile=indexdo=showgallgid=10 !!! A site I've never been to before, honest! Giving the dimensions to firefox doesn't help BTW but at least this window can be dragged back inside the confines of the physical monitor. I did this twice, so it's no mere fluke. I rushed over to Yahoo to post this and the window's still OK. So, thankfully it's not permanent ;) Anybody care to hazard a guess as to what's happening here. Can anybody duplicate it? -mw __ Yahoo! DSL Something to write home about.

May be the site uses some kind of crappy javascript which is doing this. But when I restarted firefox I was not redirected to the second link you pointed to. I had my blank page opened for me.

Hi all,
Sorry to say, but it looks fine by me. Nothing happens here.
Cheers,

thankfully it's not permanent ;)
Anybody care to hazard a guess as to what's happening
here. Can anybody duplicate it?

I suppose now you want to unset in Edit - Preferences - Web features - Enable JavaScript - Advanced all but Change Images, or even disable JavaScript globally... ;-) I didn't dare to enable JavaScript, but I saw nothing relevant in the code of that page. Do you have any suspicious plugins, Flash, Java, any extensions? Can you sniff (with tcpdump or ethereal) the traffic when that window opens? Is there only one instance of firefox running? only one window? -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by grep -i virus $MESSAGE pgpMnhOc2kWgH.pgp Description: PGP signature
