Still getting "unresponsive script"
I have changed the value of dom.max_script_run_time to 1000 and *still* I get "unresponsive script" notices.
The only time it ever happens is when I am downloading something, and take a moment to create a new folder to hold the new item.
Then, because there are now 2 dialogs wanting a response (the save box, and the 'unresponsive script' box) Firefox locks up and I cannot click either of the buttons.
So then I have to do a Force Quit and reopen Firefox.
Even with a value of 1000 (seconds?) it always interrupts at about the same time as the default value.
All the Firefox KB suggests is that if changing the value doesn't help, then set it back to the original value - while giving no further suggestions as to how to prevent it happening again.

Are you creating that new folder via the file picker for the download or are you using a file manager (Finder)?
Try to create that folder before initiating that download if you do use Finder.
That's what I have to do these days.
I've been using FF for years, and this is the first time creating folders while downloading was an issue.
Personally, I'd rather disable the script setting completely, as have never had a problem with scripts till this latest version of FF.
I've been using the file picker for years without problem - it's annoying to have that feature whipped out from under me.
What other application is there that won't give you time to create a folder on the fly?
The suggestion to create folders first is a *backwards* step. Sure, it's the only practical answer in the meantime, but I'd already figured that out.
Does no-one have an answer for killing that warning?
