No doubt that sometimes happens, but the behaviour (for the 'while')
described by Stefan Ram is also a possibility.  It's what I see in the
three Linux browsers I tested.

When I try it with Firefox, I get (as SR suggested) a fresh and
responsive console prompt, and I can simply close the browser normally
and the CPU usage goes back to idle.  What one sees, and how to deal
with it, is obviously system-dependent.
