Details
User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:41.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/41.0
Build ID: 20151016093648
Steps to reproduce:
I have added a debug output into a site that I'm developing. That output got bigger than expected (several hundred thousand lines of output).
Actual results:
This froze the whole browser for more than 10 minutes (then I killed it).
Expected results:
The browser should have prompted me with a popup asking if I want to abort rendering, or wait some more. Similar to the popup that shows up if a script runs too long (5 seconds by default, I think). The time after which the popup shows should be configurable.

This could be used to DoS a user, by delivering a large/complicated to render file to him or her.
