The "something" that doesn't like an incomplete JavaScript appears to be
Firefox itself.  I doublechecked against FF and Konqueror on a vanilla Linux
install, and FF does the same thing on Linux as Windows, no virus checkers,
adblockers, or any other factors.  I assume they've closed out the JS tag so
that the broken part will appear as text for the developer as a debugging
aid.  What a lovely "feature". :p  Konqueror behaves like IE, it just skips
what it considers malformed script and shows a blank page.  No extra closing
tags or other strangeness. Which sort of leaves us back where we were.
