Binary package hint: mozilla-firefox

The link below causes an ok/cancel box to pop up.  Whichever option is
chosen the box pops-up again and again and there appears to be no way to
escape other than to kill firefox.

*** Warning*** If you visit the link, you'll probably need to restart
firefox.

If the problem also occurs on windows machines then it may be a security
vulnerability because it will probably get the user to download the .exe
