This is a request for a protection against javascript infinity loops. Basically, Firefox would analyze the JS code and if it looks like an infinity loop it should alert the user, asking if he/she would like to run the script or not. Of course, you should be able to disable this check.

Reproducible: Always

Actual Results:  
It runs until the browser crashes.

Expected Results:  
It should alert the user that this script will run forever and eventually crash the browser.

In my opinion this isn't a duplicate of that bug. This would alert before the script runs, and only for infinity loops.
