Unresponsive script warnings in Firefox

When I upgraded to Firefox 2.0 I started getting some unresponsive script warnings on sites that use quite a bit of Javascript like Gmail. So after digging for quite a while I found a cure to the nagging script issue.
Firefox unresponsive script dialog
To fix it, you’ll need to access the hidden configuration page in Firefox. Just type about:config in the address bar and you’ll get a page full of hidden configurations which you can tweak till your heart’s delight.
In the “Filter” box, type dom.max_script_run_time. This will narrow the options till only the dom.max_script_run_time option remains. Right-click it and choose Modify. A box pops up. Change the number to something bigger like 20. This is the maximum time a script can run before Firefox considers it unresponsive.
If you can’t find the string in the about:config page, create it by right-clicking anywhere and then choose New Integer and enter dom.max_script_run_time. When prompted for the value, use 20.
Beware that some extensions may also cause similar problems.

Got something to say?
well….i did as u said…however i still get the error in gmail
This error is probably caused by an add-on. Go into Tools/Add-Ons and disable each one until you find the one that is unresponsive.
