[Bug 600692] [NEW] javascript popups prevent closing tab

[Meekohi]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: firefox

If you land on an annoying site that constantly spams a javascript alert
box on loop, it is impossible to close the associated tab, forcing the
user to kill firefox and restart.

You should be able to close a tab even if a javascript alert box is
open.
