Vulnerability discussion

Popup windows may be used to launch an attack within a new browser window with altered settings. This setting blocks popup windows created while the page is loading.

Check content

In About:Config, verify that the preference name “dom.disable_window_open_feature.status " is set to “true” and locked. Criteria: If the parameter is set incorrectly, then this is a finding. If the setting is not locked, then this is a finding.

Fix text

Ensure the preference "dom.disable_window_open_feature.status " is set and locked to the value of “true”.

Pro Tips

Lavender hyperlinks in small type off to the right (of CSS class id, if you view the page source) point to globally unique URIs for each document and item. Copy the link location and paste anywhere you need to talk unambiguously about these things.

You can obtain data about documents and items in other formats. Simply provide an HTTP header Accept: text/turtle or Accept: application/rdf+xml.
