Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: firefox-3.0
[Mozilla upstream suggests this might be an Ubuntu problem, so I’m
filling a report here.]
Before letting you visit a potentially confusing URL with an embedded
HTTP username:password, Firefox pops up a “helpful” warning dialog
asking you to confirm the site you intended to visit. Unfortunately, it
asks you to confirm that you intend to visit the _username_, not that
you intend to visit the real site!
Confirm
You are about to log in to the site "members.tripod.com" with the
username "www%2Egoogle%2Ecom", but the website does not require
authentication. This may be an attempt to trick you.
Is "www%2Egoogle%2Ecom" the site you want to visit?
[No] [Yes]
I’m using firefox-3.0 3.0.2+build3+nobinonly-0ubuntu2, xulrunner-1.9
1.9.0.2+build3+nobinonly-0ubuntu1 on Ubuntu intrepid amd64.
