I discussed this with my brother once, and we agreed that a modal javascript
alert should only be within a tab. That way, something silly like that would
lock up all actions in that tab (except the close tab action), but wouldn't
affect other tabs.
We had this discussion back in 2003. I've made the recommendation before, but I
am yet to see any browser get this right.

Even Chrome, which has one process per tab, has window-modal alerts.

He's a character in The Simpsons who pops up now and then, usually to
say "ha ha!"

If you'd actually written his name correctly (I had no clue either what you
were on about) it would have been quite funny.

And, here I was thinking you were talking about running Firefox under
MS-DOS. Silly me!

I remember a few years ago there was a PS3 hacking challenge. A guy set up a
PS3 with Linux, and said whoever hacked it would get it. The goal was
modifying a file, only writeable as root. "No DoS allowed"
Many news sites quoted that as "you can't use MS-DOS".

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