I was looking into getting all mondays in a month, in order to create a full list of weeks between two predefined dates and I found this solution on stackoverflow. It works like charm on chrome but not on firefox: takes too long and breaks. Debugging the code it turns out this bit of code takes a lot of time to execute:

// Get the first Monday in the month
while (d.getDay() != 1) {
    d.setDate(d.getDate() + 1);
}

I usually run my apps on chrome but I want the users to be able to run it on firefox if they prefer. So is there a way to do this without it breaking?

What exactly is `d`? The current date? – Teemu May 29 '18 at 09:14
in the link above we have `var d = newDate()` – Chayma Atallah May 29 '18 at 09:16
I don't follow links, please add all the relevant information to the question itself. – Teemu May 29 '18 at 09:16
It seems to take about 0.55 msecs to execute the given task (includes new date and console.log too) in FF, that's "_a lot of time_"? – Teemu May 29 '18 at 09:25
works like a charm in my FF. maybe that problem is bound to your machine? – wayneOS May 29 '18 at 09:28
