This is trying to cure the disease by eliminating a symptom.  You don't

Going fullscreen is part if what makes
it hard to even try to make it go away.

The malware does three things:
1. It shows an image.
2. It goes fullscreen.
3. It disables buttons.

Preventing 1 would seem a really bad idea.
I'd like to prevent 2 or 3.

Did you try alt-tab to switch to another application (say a terminal)
to kill the tab from the command line?

I don't think the full screen trick inside firefox can stop that, and
I think I have hit a few of these half-assed websites before, but
alt-tab must have worked for me to bypass them and kill the tab.

I can switch to another virtual console,
but do not know how to kill just one tab.
I can got out of it by disconnecting the ethernet cable,
but would rather disconnect with the GUI.
