A second minor bug found in the Firefox 2.0 Web browser will be fixed, but users shouldn't encounter much of a problem in the mean time, a Mozilla official said today.
The browser will crash if it visits a Web page that been intentionally coded with JavaScript in such a way as to target the bug, said Tristan Nitot, director of European operations for Mozilla.
"It's very unlikely that anyone would have put a similar page on any ordinary Web site," so users shouldn't be affected, Nitot said.
The problem can't be used to steal data from a computer, he added.
It's the second bug that's been found in Firefox 2.0 since its release on Oct. 24. The first bug also causes the browser to hang or crash when a very large document is loaded into an iframe--an HTML element--using JavaScript.
The new bug will eventually be fixed. "We will fix it because we need reliability," Nitot said, adding no timetable has been set.
