Description Julien Olivier 2012-09-08 19:19:54 UTC 
In this page: http://www.lequipe.fr/Rugby/Directs/ , there is the following code:

<object data="http://media.11footballclub.com/themes/football/css/fonts/cJZKeOuBrn4kERxqtaUH3T8E0i7KZn-EPnyo3HZu7kw.woff" width="0" style="position: absolute; left: -9999px; "></object>

This results in the woff file to be downloaded and the "downloads" directory to be opened each time you go to this page.

I remember that, some time ago, I also had this problem with embedded flash or shockwave movies.

Loading Ikea France's webpage will download "bandeau_anna_top.swf" (a Flash banner) if you don't have Flash installed:

OK, this should be fixed in master (4bd35f5349e30), will push to 3.6.x branch too.
