I can't close a window unless I shut down the computer. I get a javascript error box.

Two windows have jammed. Every time I go to close them, they throw up a long dialogue box saying "Are you sure you want to navigate away from this page?" next to a blue question mark.

Underneath that it says " JavaScript Error!" 

                                                "Press ESC to close this alert!"

When I escape, the windows are still there and I can't close them.

I've tried uninstalling Firefox and reinstalling and they are still there.

Is this just a glitch or am I infected?

I prefer to keep version 3.6.3 because I use Realplayer Browser Record Plugin and later versions don't seem to accept it.

Thanks

You can disable JavaScript settings and preferences for interactive web pages temporarily and close those tabs or windows.
