Put off Firefox 1.5’s “Unresponsive script� dialogue
I was having trouble with my Gmail recently, when sending and uploading attachments, the browser would time out with gmail servers and i would get all these unresponsive script time-out errors. finally found a way to fix them thanks to lifehacker

One of the “features� of Firefox 1.5 is a pop-up dialog that appears whenever a page takes too long to load that reads, “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.�
To which I ask, “Why, Mozilla? Why?� I run into this error a lot since I upgraded to Firefox 1.5, especially with the slow-as-snails installation of MovableType we wrestle with each day to publish Lifehacker. Happily it’s not hard to delay this annoying dialog. To do so:
1. Type about:config in Firefox’s address bar.
2. Filter down to the value for dom.max_script_run_time.
3. Raise the timeout value (default is 5.) I set mine to 20.
4. Enjoy!
