maximum rows added to table

Does anyone know what the upper limit is to the number of rows you can
dynamically add to an HTML table, using Javascript? I tried to make a
table consisting of over 74,000 rows and Firefox stops rendering the
page.  I didn't notice any exceptions being thrown or any other
external indicator that something is wrong, other than the page not
being rendered all the way.

If you happen to know if there is a number to this I should be aware
of, please respond :)

Thanks.
