Here's an off the top of my head idea. Use your firewall to temporarily
block the offending web site then restore your Firefox session. The
offending page should come up with an error message instead of the
runaway code.

Tried it. I have many windows open with multiple tabs. It looks to
be unmanageable. It seems like I would have to do that for each window's
tabs and firefox gets to that problem website and bogs down before I can
even get started.
I wonder if Safe mode would disable the mechanism of whatever is on that
one website that is grabbing my computers resources so I could go to
that pages tab and close it. ... ?

You can save all the open tabs. Go to bookmarks and three down the
list is Bookmark all tabs. This will let store all the bookmarks in
one folder. You can then choose the option to open all the files in
that folder.

I have a large number of web pages that I am working with via Firefox
1.5xx to do various research and they get re-opened ("Restore Session")
every time I reboot my XP Pro computer.
Today I opened a blog page that ran away and crashed Firefox (from
looking at Task Manager/ Performance the problem is excessive RAM draw
apparently) and now if I restart and choose Restore Session it starts
opening web pages Ok apparently until it gets to that page and then &
runs aways again before I can find that web page's window and close it.
I don't want to "Start a new session" and sacrifice my collection of
working web pages in order to get around this problem.
Can anybody solution a solution path that will allow me to close that
particular Firefox window without killing the Firefox application ?
