FF30.0 "not responding" during QUIT process. Maybe script problem...
After several minutes, it becomes "not responding" and then after several more minutes it ceases to be "not responding" but takes several more minutes to display an "unresponsive script" message. I killed the script, then several minutes more before finally quitting.
Any way to make scripts stop running SOONER?
THIS: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/warning-unresponsive-script
talks about making the script run longer & then setting back down to default time; but does not say WHAT the default value is, nor does it say if you can safely REDUCE that value so a script is stopped sooner.
Is there any way to prevent scripts from running in the background for more than a specified amount of time? Its useful to have stuff load and sometimes refresh in the background, but not when they cause FF to slow down.
I am using Session Manager to save the session. Wonder if it causes each tab to reload before allowing it to quit, and this might be a reason for a script to start running again, and maybe get stuck? That seems to be the one and only Add-On that saves stuff and allows you to choose what to reload next time.
Hardware Acceleration is OFF. Mac OSX 10.6.8

Here I am again, WASTING ANOTHER DAY messing WITH FIREFOX...
Original object was to simply quit all apps & restart the Mac, since things were starting to run a bit slow and I have not cleared out caches by restarting for about a week.
Since restarting, there is something weird -- under the "gearwheel" dropdown in the OSX 10.6.8 FINDER, there should be colored dots, so you can click on the LABEL color you want for a file. SUDDENLY THESE DOTS ARE MISSING. Restarted a second time & still gone.
Using Startup Manager to reload 36 tabs from last session.
2:13 startup per the clock on the FINDER window (no seconds)
spinner soon began
repeated CONSOLE error (actually several difference addresses) :::

2:16 killed unresponsive script became NOT RESPONDING
2:18 another unresponsive script still NOT RESPONDING
2:21 now responding but SPINNER Quickly NOT RESPONDING again
2:23 now responding but SPINNER Quickly NOT RESPONDING again
Enough of this -- FORCE QUIT

Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web link} While you are in safe mode; Poke around safe web sites and see if there is still a problem. Then restart
It could be the work of one of your add-ons, or even add / mal-ware. Look thru your add-ons list and make sure you know what each one is there for. Also, check the programs that are on your computer
Windows: Start > Control Panel > Uninstall Programs. Mac: Open the "Applications" folder Linux:
- Ubuntu Unity {web link}
- Xfce: Applications Menu category sections
- options depends on the package manager and the desktop environment
Go thru the list. If you find something that you don't know what it is, use a web search.
Did you ever choose to ignore this alert?

>Did you ever choose to ignore this alert?
OK -- THAT'S how I can choose how long a script will run. Thanks.
Re Safe Mode etc -- I have been doing that over & over again for the past several WEEKS. I have more than 100 man hours stolen by this bug ridden application. Recently RESET the whole thing & had to start over -- why doesn't RESET create a LIST of all your Add-ons, so you know where to go get them again>
This isn't working. I typed
pref show <dom.max_script_run_time>
into the pane and still have a blank white page.
Tried it without the < > and still nothing
WTF ???
And the instructional page: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Editing_configuration
Is not clear. Can I do anything other than RESET and SHOW from the about:config screen?
Or do I need to learn how to use some other app to EDIT the value?
Apparantly the default values are 20 and 10 seconds.
FF is Not Responding for many, many MINUTES.
Can something be preventing the Unresponsive script dialog box from popping up?

OK, double click on the line... reset to 2 and 1 seconds.
restarted -- nope, same Not Responding; loading forever, spinner etc.
How can I reduce the number of simultaneous tab-opening connections FF allows? Maybe my DSL line is suddenly not up to opening a mere 36 tabs ??
But I used to run about 175 open tabs in Safari, before IT started acting wanko in the same way.
>Did you ever choose to ignore this alert?
Oh, you mean to say that I should check the box such that the alert never comes up & FF just keeps running the scripts?
I think that would make the spinner more infinite instead of getting rid of the spinner. Why do you think it would do the opposite?
No, you shouldn't disable future alerts by placing a tick in that box as that will block Firefox in case something goes wrong and you would have to force to close Firefox. I only asked because you wrote that you got the alert later than expected (several minutes) when the mentioned prefs had their default value.
Last night I put my computer to sleep. Today woke it up & started moving between tabs in a single window.
When I opened a NEW window -- Spinner, then Not Responding.
How the hell does a new, EMPTY window create this problem???
You can try to disable hardware acceleration in Firefox.
- Firefox > Preferences > Advanced > General > Browsing: "Use hardware acceleration when available"
You need close and restart Firefox after toggling this setting.
Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.
- Switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance
- Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window
