Steps to reproduce:

This scammer site:
policenetwatch.org/?p=72d3236c7345d67ab97cef58bb2a9e64
Has javascript that keeps the Firefox browser from being closed.
You guys "conveniently" removed the javascript button so it is very difficult to disable now (using about:config), so now we get **** like this.  Thanks for that.
(Telling people to get an add-on to prevent javascript bugs is not the solution)


Actual results:

Went to a site that loaded this scammer's website.
Can't close the new window normally.


Expected results:

Should be able to close the window, or at least disable javascript so that I can close it.
