Unresponsive Script?
I've been receiving the following error from Firefox more and more often over the past month:
As pictured, it usually happens when uploading photos to flickr, but it has happened with other sites. I'll be uploading, eventually this error comes up, I click on the "Stop Script" button, the error disappears, and everything continues as if nothing happened. Supposedly, this is a "helpful" message that results from pages that take "too long" to load.
After some poking around, I found the following solution on lifehacker.
- Type about:config in Firefox's address bar.
- Filter down to the value for dom.max_script_run_time.
- Change the value to something higher than the default (which is 5.) I set mine to 20.
- Bask in interruptionless browsing!

I was getting those for a while, mainly at webshots, then I turned off my Javascript. That worked for a short while, but it was annoying to turn it back on when I needed it and off again. It seemed to cure itself after a while. Haven't had this pop up in a few months.
