Description Dani Megert CLA 2014-08-26 12:01:37 EDT
When clicking on bugzilla links in the help center one gets an empty page and when I do this inside my Eclipse IDE I get this:
    "This content cannot be displayed in a frame" or an empty page.

Is there a reason to prevent showing the bug report in a frame?

Test Case:
1. open
http://help.eclipse.org/luna/topic/org.eclipse.platform.doc.user/tasks/running_eclipse.htm?cp=0_3_0

2. scroll down and click on the '139319' link
==> empty page

The latest Bugzilla upgrade is responsible for this.  It is to prevent inlining content into a foreign frame to prevent Cross-site request forgery attacks.

Links to external sites inside a frame should open in a new window/tab.  I think we should move this to UA.

OK.

I disagree. For a user this is a bad experience.

So are frames  :)

At any rate, I'm not sure what you'd want us to do.  We're not going to remove the CSRF protection on Bugzilla.

To close on this: the difference, empty page (Firefox) vs. error page (IE), comes from the browser. Chrome doesn't even switch the page and just ignores the click.

We'll go and fix this with bug 442547.
