I have a script, which a number of people use, which opens 10 tabs at
once. This has been working fine for years now. Since Firefox 40, it's
been behaving strangely. One of the 10 tabs will never finish loading.
Pressing Escape will not halt the loading process. You cannot close the
tab, and are forced to close the browser to get rid of it.
The example script just opens 5 tabs. The tab that won't finish, and the
one to the left of it, cannot be closed. The original Google tab can be
closed, but it will reappear either immediately, or when you again try
to close one of the two "stuck" tabs. If one of the two tabs tries to
close itself through javascript, it crashes the browser.
When I revert back to Firefox 39, all this weird behavior goes away, and
everything works normally.
You can run the script from Google.com page. It add a link to the top.
Change the number of tabs to open with the "j" variable.
