Site locking browser, preventing from closing it

Firefox Datenschutz und Sicherheit

I recently came upon this site: http://politie.nl.id169787298-7128265115.*.com/

It looks like the average scam site, but this one is different. It locks the browser. The tab cannot be closed, the browser cannot be closed either. How can this happen- firefox is supposed to be safe?

The only way to close is using taskmanager.

edit: removed the link to access the malicious site directly. (philipp)
