EDIT:
ITS NOT FAKE!!!
I just crashed my system
you gotta make the HTML file, then have an image of course. i used a 30kb jpeg and then with iexplore, the system totally locked up and after 15 secs a blue screen appeared..

Nope, firefox is just showing a black image-box.
edit: some might want to try it with a PNG instead. And it might only work on some systems; it certainly worked on mine..

Still no crash.
Maybe it is because I got this Windows copy from Microsoft for free (when I worked for them in a project), so kind of a secret version hehe..
No just kidding, I have no clue why mine is not crashing. (Maybe depending on what updates are installed)

Thats probably why.
Anyway, if you read the comments, someone linked to a greasemonkey script which prevents this hack in firefox.
