Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: firefox-3.0

There are some "joke" websites which don't let the visitor close the
current window or tab by showing him infinite alert boxes generated with
Javascript.

For example, visit www.own3d.es (***CAUTION: contains _gay pornography_
and Firefox process must be killed to exit the site***). I am also
attaching its source code in a comment.

I think that Firefox should be able to detect this kind of situations
and insert a short delay between the alert boxes to allow the user to
close the window.
