Firefox will stop any client side JavaScript after 5-6s and ask whether you want to keep running the slow running script or not. If will even change to that tab before prompting you. Isn't that what you just described?

Only if it totally locks up the browser though, not if the browser remains responsive but eats a lot of cycles.
