http://www.bartleby.com/108/ always causes firefox to freeze and has to be force
quit. Both mozilla and safari handle it fine. It could be the pop-up window as I
need pop-ups enabled (WebCT uses).

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Go to page
2.Watch ball go round and round for ever
3. Fail at switching to another window or closing this one.
4. Go to force quit function and try to open window through command+option+escape.
5. Firefox is listed as not responding.
6. Force quit firefox

Actual Results:  
Nothing, does is immediately on openning, note that it at least loads a good
part of the page.

Expected Results:  
Not freeze.

Don't know and no message or crash log generated (sorry if there is one, but I
don't know where it is).

The popup appeared in a tab, although popup-blocking was enabled.

Yes, I was mistaken, I did have pop-ups blocked. It still seems to freeze
firefox with pop-ups not blocked.

you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.
