If I "save link as..." from a page runnning JavaScript, I can get to a point where I have to kill Firefox
I'm trying to download the current JDK from http://www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp. If I right-click on a file link and select "Save link as...", the file system browser opens. If I wait long enough with this window open, a second dialog box opens telling me that a Javascript module is taking too long.
At this point, I can't dismiss the JavaScript window, or the file system browser, or in any other way return to the tab where I was downloading from. My only recourse is to kill Firefox.

On a Mac you need to use Apple update to install Java.
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL972 - Java for Mac OS X 10.6 Update 2
I don't have OS X 10.6 but 10.5.8.
For 10.5, the equivalent update is Java for Mac OS X 10.5 Update 7, which updates Java to 1.6.0_20. I already have this update, so the suggestion to update Java does not fix this issue.
Oh, I am slow!
Cor-el, It's not the fact that I'm downloading the JDK, but the fact that the Javascript engine times out while I'm browsing for a save location.
Start Firefox in Use Troubleshoot Mode in Firefox to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
See Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems and Troubleshoot issues with plugins like Flash or Java to fix common Firefox problems
Same problem in safe mode.
My Ff stalls quite often and I have to clse it Using the task manager..processes to make my computer work again. Sometimes I get a message asking me if I want to continue running the script because there is something wrong with Javascript. I usually get Javascript problems with Google or wikipedia, but also other pages.
This isn't really a problem with the Javascript on the page: the problem is that there are two application modal windows open at the same time, and each prevents the other from being dismissed.
