Firefox + history.dat DoS
« on: December 21, 2005, 01:51:08 pm »

Don't click it unless you plan on deleting history.dat or using vim (like I) to type '99999999999dd' or so.

Not sure if it was posted here, but since it affects both Windows and Linux Firefox's I figured I'd put it here!

(Latest Firefox, btw.)

It crashes because it's parsing, and it's huge. :P

I'd bet that you're currently bloated like a water ballon on a hot summer's day.

That analogy doesn't even make sense.  Why would a water balloon be especially bloated on a hot summer's day? For your sake, I hope there wasn't too much logic testing on your LSAT.

I tried that when it was first posted, it was pretty disappointing. 

Unless it got better?
