Firefox “Warning: Unresponsive script”

I got an error “Warning: Unresponsive script” A script on this page may be busy, or it may have stopped responding. You can stop the script now, or you can continue to see if the script will complete” with my [tag]Ubuntu[/tag], [tag]Firefox[/tag] 1.5.0.4 and [tag]Joomla[/tag] recently.

What is this? I don’t have such problem in [tag]Opera[/tag] browser with the same web page.

Search around and found the solution. A lot of people have the same problem before.

1. Type about:config in Firefox’s address bar.
2. Filter down to the value for dom.max_script_run_time.
3. Change the value to something higher than the default (which is 5.) I set mine to 200.

What is dom.max.script_run_time?
Check out this page for more information.

    This generally happens if you have the official version of the Google bar and Session Saver. The solution to this is uninstall both, and replace them with the unofficial version of the Google bar and Session Manager.

    Well… that was one of the solutions anyway.

    Don’t go there or your computer will freeze. Unless you disable java script on browser.
