Stopping infinite loops of alerts in Mozilla

Question

This may be dumb question. But somehow this engaged me for sometime and after some basic research I couldn't find an answer.

I was learning JavaScript and a code I wrote had an error and has been outputting infinite loops of alerts. I tried the normal shortcuts like Ctrl + C and Ctrl + Z but they didn't work. So I was thinking if there is any solution to this other than ending the browser process (like by doing a Ctrl + Alt + Del).

Answer 1

There are workarounds, as @Sarfras mentions, but no magic button that'll save you. The F5 workaround is the best I know of.
