found on most websites that use the "javascript:popImage" for image pop ups, the browser will take 99% cpu and ever increasing amounts of memory and virtual memory until it crashes.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.open website, my example  http://www.torpedo7.com.au/products/EXBGSNNSA
2.click on link to enlarge image javascript:popImage('/images/products/EXBGSNNSA_zoom.jpg','EXUSTAR Saddle Bag');
3. watch Firefox crash
Actual Results:  
upon opening Task manager, i can watch the memory increase until the system becomes unstable with a "end now" dialog box

Expected Results:  
opened image in new small window, released memory.

there are no themes installed, only extension installed is "eve-downtime"
