Let's Find Out How To Fix Unresponsive Script Errors - Changing Runtime

The quickest solution to fixing the Unresponsive Script Error is to change the runtime for the script running in the background from that website.

To do this, follow the steps below, but remember to change this back to the default setting if it doesn't solve the problem.

DISCLAIMER:

Apply these steps carefully and exactly. No responsibility will be taken for broken Firefox browsers or broken computers. Use these steps knowing what effect they will have.


Changing The Runtime Of The Script


1/ Open Mozilla Firefox browser and type in about:config in the URL Field where you would normally type any website address. See image above.

2/ Click on the blue 'I'll Be Careful I Promise!' button after reading the warning

3/ Search for dom.max_script_run_time in the Search bar under 'about:config

4/ Double LEFT-mouse click on the blue line that appears with dom.max_script_run_time with the Status, Type and Value columns.

In the Value Column you will see a value, the default is 10. A dialogue box will appear prompting you to enter a value.



5/ Change the current value to 20, then click on the Ok button

You will now see that the line shows up in Bold White and the value is 20.

This will allow the Script to run longer and hopefully that will solve the Unresponsive Script Error.

If this solution doesn't work, then you need to change the value back to 10.

Thank you. I copied this to my documents in case I have this happen again. I have had this happen just a few times with this computer. On my old one it was pretty constant and had a virus. I'm really hesitant to try doing something like this, but you just never know! God bless.
