When loading a page that has very long or infinite scripts such as
http://acid.student.pw.edu.pl/grzegorz/firefox_crash2.html Deer Park used to
show a dialog every 10secs to ask "stop script?" In today's build, this dialog
seems to be not working.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to site with long script
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
Freezes Firefox

Expected Results:  
Should show dialog allowing the user to stop the script

Just tested with:

javascript:while (true) { };

The Testcase from 2005 is currently no longer available (404 Error), so resolving this as incomplete. Feel free to reopen if you can reproduce your reported bug with a current build/release
