Issue
Firefox is having problems with certain web sites
Description
Some sites (usually automatically opened advertising ones) open message boxes in infinite loop. Since message boxes are modal, access to Firefox controls and to another tabs becomes impossible. It is also impossible to close the message box since it immediately appears again.
What is the best solution in such situations?
Is it possible to prevent this situation without disabling all of javascript?
