[Bug 269164] [NEW] Rickroll makes Firefox unusable

[stefanlew]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: firefox-3.0

Some friends sent me a link to http://deadlyintention.com (the name says
it all). Clicking on the link opens a webpage that leaves Firefox
virtually unusable.

1) The window changes size and jumps from corner to corner.
2) Closing the tab or the whole window opens an alert with the lyrics.

There seems to be no way to escape except killing the Firefox process.

Opera as well as Konqueror don't show this rather annoying behavior.
