Originally reported against epiphany: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=774384

Although it seems possible to handle the problem in epiphany, it would be more effective to implement a means to stop Javascript from opening infinite popups, which can effectively lock out webkit application's interfaces, in the webkit backend.
