A bad JavaScript keeps open an alert so that the page is locked. Whereas Chrome includes a checkbox that prevents further alerts from the page, what does FireFox provide?

And worse, when I ctrl-alt-del-close FF, it "recovers" but reloading that same bad script and sticking it to me again.

I figure there must be some secret keystroke to fix this. What is it? Thanks.


This happened

Just once or twice

Firefox 3.5 and later versions will automatically try to restore the tabs and windows from the last session if a crash has occurred or Firefox wasn't closed properly the previous time.

Set the pref browser.sessionstore.max_resumed_crashes to 0 on the about:config page to get the about:sessionrestore page immediately with the first restart after a crash has occurred or the Task Manager was used to close Firefox. See https://wiki.mozilla.org/Session_Restore#Preferences http://kb.mozillazine.org/Browser.sessionstore.max_resumed_crashes See also http://kb.mozillazine.org/Session_Restore#Firefox_keeps_crashing_after_restoring_a_session

To open the about:config page, type about:config in the location (address) bar and press the Enter key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website. If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.
