Visiting http://www.pmscollege.org/previous/hello.htm cause Firefox freez
because od memory allocaiting.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start Firefox
2. Visit http://www.pmscollege.org/previous/hello.htm

Actual Results:  
Firefox is allocating huge amount of memory and is unusable.
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.
