305703 - This page shows a message box in a loop locking up the browser

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 61098

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Stanislav Vitebskiy]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.7.10) Gecko/20050716 Firefox/1.0.6
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.7.10) Gecko/20050716 Firefox/1.0.6

When opening http://www.top.ee/raamat/?id_user=3562, this page displays a
message box (probably from a script). Closing the message box displays another one.
It is not possible to close the browser window or tab or do anything with the
current browser window. The only way to exit is to kill the Firefox process.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open http://www.top.ee/raamat/?id_user=3562
Actual Results:  
The page locks up the browser window with a message box that is reopened repeatedly.

Expected Results:  
There should be a pause of a few seconds between message boxes so that it is
possible to go off the page or close the tab/window.
Alternatively, there should be a limit on how many message boxes a script (I'am
almost sure that it is script that is showing the msg boxes) can show before
returned execution thread to the browser.
