Package: iceweasel Version: 3.0.6-1 Followup-For: Bug #496632
ever since upgrading from 2 to 3, iceweasel keeps stealing focus and warping the mouse pointer. this is not just annoying, this is a serious security issue, as it regularly happens to me that I enter some password when the icewesael window is unmapped(!) and just before pressing return I find myself typing the password into the login field of the login box. This is not just annoying (one has to unmap the iceweael window, move the cursor back to the original window), it is also a rather disastruous security issue, as: a) the password will be clearly visible to anybody standing around b) if one types quickly, the password will be sent in cleartext to the remote site(!) please reconsider the improtance of this bug, without the security issues, this would be just annoying, but as it is, this is outright dangerous - iceweasel basically acts like an evil application trying to steal credentials. -- System Information: Debian Release: 5.0 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.28-1-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=de_DE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages iceweasel depends on: ii debianutils 2.30 Miscellaneous utilities specific t ii fontconfig 2.6.0-3 generic font configuration library hi libc6 2.7-18 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libglib2.0-0 2.16.6-1 The GLib library of C routines ii libgtk2.0-0 2.12.11-4 The GTK+ graphical user interface ii libnspr4-0d 4.7.1-4 NetScape Portable Runtime Library ii libstdc++6 4.3.3-4 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 ii procps 1:3.2.7-11 /proc file system utilities ii psmisc 22.6-1 Utilities that use the proc filesy ii xulrunner-1.9 1.9.0.6-1 XUL + XPCOM application runner iceweasel recommends no packages.
