I see strange things indeed. Also IE doesn't show the page.
The same happens in Internet Explorer (be careful with that page). I think I've seen this before. That script is specifically designed to use as much memory as possible. Probably the same as bug 269778.
I concur that this is a duplicate of bug 269778. Firefox can't at present do a lot about webpages that deliberately gobble up memory.
agreed it is a dupe and an attempted exploit as well. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 269778 ***
