<script language="JavaScript">
<!--
function btnclick(){
	for(i=0;i<4000;i++) alert("1 Aprilie Teapa :-) !!!!");
}
//-->
</script>
a simple javascript code like this is forcing you to kill firefox , or to press
ok for 4000 times . No tabs menus or close buttons are avariable .

Reproducible: Always



Expected Results:  
I think that normaly you should be able to close al most the tab .
