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. :-)

Then I'd recommend not shooting yourself in the foot. ;-)

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.

  Firefox is open source. Fix it. ;)

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