Details

When a web page invokes alert many times, we get the option to suppress the alerts presented as a check box.

Checking this check box causes this exception to be thrown upon subsequent invocations of alert:

[08:46:01.304] uncaught exception: [Exception... "Component returned failure code: 0x80040111 (NS_ERROR_NOT_AVAILABLE) [nsIDOMWindowInternal.alert]"  nsresult: "0x80040111 (NS_ERROR_NOT_AVAILABLE)"  location: "JS frame :: http://www.page.ca/~wes/test.html :: <TOP_LEVEL> :: line 8"  data: no]

This is *not* the behaviour that web developers expect.  We expect our code to continue running, with the alert boxes suppressed. Nobody wraps alert in try..catch blocks.

This would seem to be a duplicate of bug 633154, which in turn refers to last two paragraphs of bug 61098 comment #209

Does that look like what you're seeing, Wes? If so, please dupe this against the above-mentioned bug.
