Hi MustLive,

I can not reproduce this on Firefox 3.6.8. When a test-application
with one line of code gives the redirect, then nothing happens.
No page with a "here" link and no alert and whatnot.
maybe it's just your proxy or so..

<?php header(sprintf('Location: %s', $_GET['redir']), 302); ?>

/site.php?redir=javascript:alert(document.cookie)

=> Result: A blank page
