Maybe the subject would have been better written as "Firefox DoS" to be
slightly more unambiguous.

So I take it I'm not missing something obvious that would allow me to keep
from having to kill my own broken test javascript code? :-) Damn. OK.

Heh, that's nothing. Back when I was failing to learn Perl, my script
locked up, so I'm like "OK, I should go find out what I did wrong".
Closed the browser window and started prodding the source code again.
What I spectacularly failed to realise is that IT'S STILL RUNNING ON THE
SERVER! o_O Closing the browser doesn't stop the server trying to run
the script...

Noscript. Enable it to not run scripts unless you decide a site is
trusted.

Good idea, except it's my own script. :-)

Well, yes, I try not to. It just kind of surprised me that something as
coder-friendly as Firefox couldn't manage to avoid making you shut down all
your tabs just to keep from getting spammed by alerts. Seems odd, is all.

I don't disagree, I mostly was just kidding around, I knew you wouldn't
be doing something that crazy intentionally. ;-)
