No it wasn't.

Netscape had code in their source that looked at a "telnet" link, moved 
past the "://" part, replaced the "://" with spaces, and passed the 
resulting string to the shell. Note the complete lack of checking for 
something like "telnet://127.0.0.1;rm -rf *"

I'm not disagreeing with the rest of your rant. Just with this bit of 
misinformation.
