Alerts stop execution, but will still be continually added to the stack on every resize. It is best not to do that. Use console.log for debugging. ​http://fixingthesejquery.com/#slide3

Actually, alert in a resize event crashes firefox 4 (probably due to the new alert window in js). console.log or whatever else function work correctly,

Yes, this is the case. It's a firefox bug.

Same issue here. Alert on $(window).resize() causes freeze up.
