Defeat Firefox popup blocker

What a hack!

Today I was exploring a hack to web browser. The goal of the hack is simple: to open up an infinite number of popup windows. All I did is a simple javascript with a few functions that cause endless recursion. The only tricky part is what 'name' should be given to the window to be open and avoiding using a timing event to give chance for popup blocker to defend.

The result is my firefox browser opened an countless number of windows and crashed eventually. Also, I ran the same script with Chrome browser; chrome couldn't defend this attack either. After this little experiment, I just realized how vulnerable our web browser is and how dangerous the WEB could be.
