An alternative from Opera:

prompted this message.
neither of these bother me. and i'm certainly in favor of adding a
stop option to the dialogs for firefox.
it's definitely managable. today some of our dialogs get an extra
'debug script' button under certain conditions.
The only concern I have is that someone from UE/UI will complain that
such a button will confuse people, as it becomes trivial for a user to
break any web site and not necessarily understand that what they did
was the cause. However, that's a bridge I'm willing to try to cross.
I think enabling the button only after multiple repeated dialogs
would be a reasonable compromise, perhaps with an "Are you sure?"
confirmation.
