Occasionally it happens to me that I put some alert in javascript in order to debug it and then I find myself to have to press ok for a hundred times.

Sure, there are lots of ways not to get in this situation. But sometimes my guard is down and it happens again.

So my question is: how can I break off such a situation.

Think of

To my knowledge you can't.

If you press and hold down ALT+F4 you might kill the browser process before you have to see all alerts and thus avoid using Task Manager.

Some browsers (at least Firefox) offer to stop showing further alerts after a few repetions.

Right! Didn't know about that. I tried it. It worked but it was hard to get rid of that confirmation window if I didn't answer I would like FF to suppress further alerts.

FF spawns a window that looks much like a JS alert. I'm asked if I want to stop further alerts. But there's only one choice and an OK button. If I don't want to stop them, then what do I do?

Or so I thought. But I realize now that what I see is my own alert to which FF has added the question about if I want to stop the alerts and a checkbox.

Yes, if you don't tick the checkbox the alerts should continue.

Yeah, I got it after a while. But at first I didn't understand it was the JS alert I saw. They look like anything now and FF doesn't even label them JavaScript anymore. Just a plain little window.
