If I go to Preferences and disable JavaScript, and JS code that was already
running in another window continues running.  

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
    <script language=javascript>
    alert ("dammit");
    alert ("dammit");
    alert ("dammit");
    alert ("dammit");
    </script>
Actual Results:  
The code keeps running and the dialog boxes keep coming.

Expected Results:  
Turning off the global JavaScript preference should kill all JavaScript threads
and de-post all existing JavaScript dialogs.

Mozilla 1.6, Red Hat 9.

This is no longer a setting in Preferences as far as I can tell.
