On OS X, the browser will get into an unusable state if the Unresponsive Script dialog pops up while the File Open dialog is open.

1) load a page with some java script that will cause the unresponsive script error:
Example:
<script>
document.write("<p>Unresponsive Script Trigger</p>");
setInterval(function(){while(true){}},10000);
</script>
2) Immediately after loading the javascript, go to File -> Open File 
3) Leave the open file dialog box open and wait for the Unresponsive Script error dialog to open.
( see screen shot attached) 
4) Once the error dialog is open you can not click on any of the buttons in either dialog.  The File Open dialog will not let you chose a file or cancel, and the Unresponsive Script dialog will not let you cancel or continue. Nor can you quit the browser. Force Quit required
