Crash in the sense, do you want to close the browser automatically on some event occurrence ? – Vicky Feb 26 '14 at 09:14

You have to describe what you mean by "crash". – jfriend00 Feb 26 '14 at 09:14

Generally you can't crash the browser using script, you can only crash the script. Browsers nowadays have protection for scripts that hang or use too much resources, and will stop the script.
There are no severe bugs left in the browsers, like for example the IE <input type crash>
bug. You might be able to find some bug that allows you to crash one browser, but that's not likely to work in any other browser, and it's likely to be fixed soon.
