You can stop the script immediately, or you can continue to wait until the script ends.This article describes the cause of this prompt, as well as possible solutions and trade-offs.

This error message indicates that Firefox considers that a script is out of control during running and will suspend Firefox if it is not processed. The problematic script may be in the page you are currently visiting, or in the extension you have installed, or even Firefox itself.

Webroot spy sweeper Software

The webroot spy sweeper firewall software may cause this problem. Disabling spy sweeper's trace cookie function (or disabling spy sweeper) can solve this problem.

 

Give the script more running time

If you click "continue" and the same prompt pops up again, it will be useless to give the script more time-it will only make Firefox stop working for a longer time. If you click Continue and Firefox can be used normally, it means that the script only takes some time to complete the task.

Let Firefox give the script more time to run:

1. In the address bar, enterAbout: configAnd then press Enter.

   • PossibleThis may lead to loss of warranty!Warning page. Click I will be careful to continue to open the about: config page.
2. Search for the preference Dom. max_script_run_time on the about: config page, and double-click it.
3. InInput integer valueIn the prompt window, enter 20.
4. Press OK.

The script can run for a longer time in the future, and you may not receive this prompt again.

If you still receive this prompt (or you want to see it again), you should change the preference back to the default value.

1. In the address bar, enterAbout: configAnd then press Enter.

2. On the about: config page, search for the preference Dom. max_script_run_time.
3. Right-click the item and choose reset.

 

The error only occurs when you access a specific website.

If this error occurs only when you access a specific website, you can disable the script on the website. Many websites can work even if the script is disabled.

1. Install the yesscript extension and restart Firefox.
2. Open the Firefox window, click the tool menu, and click Add component.
3. In the pop-up dialog box, find the yesscript item.
4. Click options.
5. InYesscript blacklistIn the dialog box, enter the problematic website address in the text box.
6. Click Add. The domain name of the website will be added to the list.

The website that has a problem is forbidden to run the script. It will no longer trigger a warning that the script does not respond.
