Warning: It is some kind of an annoying "you are an idiot" sign combined with a lot of popup message boxes. Open with care!

In any case, it crashed my firefox 3.5.4. (or to be more precise, made it unusable) ... I don't know about other browsers.

Since it's been a while since something that stupid did something like that, I'm wondering ... what weakness is that thing using (Javascript ?), and how to protect oneself from it ?

Hi there. When I try to start Firefox using Process.Start and ProcessStartInfo (.NET) everything seems to work fine.
