Foxmarks: Increasing the Javascript Timeout
From Foxcloud Wiki
If you have been plagued by the annoying "Unresponsive Script" dialog,
- (Snapshot of dialog box is really needed here. :)
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. [continue] [stop script]
If while syncronizing Foxmarks to the server, it appears to be stuck or un-responsive with 'Writing to sync file...' message. It is possible that Firefox (DOM communication) is timing out during the updating script process.
- No matter which button you click on, the bookmark file could be corrupted. Please restart ; Firefox as soon as possible after this error.
To avoid future timeout issues, try the following procedure:
- In the address bar of a Firefox browser window, enter about:config
- In the "filter" bar, enter dom.max_script_run_time
- You should now be able to see a setting appear in the window below the filter bar. The setting's name should match what you entered above (dom.max_script_run_time) and most likely shows a default value of 5.
- Double-click this setting; Firefox will prompt you for a new value. Enter 10.
If changing this setting still causes the "Unresponsive script" dialog to re-appear, repeat the above procedure but increase the number that you enter in step #4.
