My internet provider recently switched me over from USB cable to
ethernet cable to connect my computer with my modem.

What started happening since then is that every time I go to a new web
site, I get a Windows Internet Explorer Box that comes up saying:

"Stop running this script? A script on this page is causing Internet
Explorer to run slowly. If it continues to run, your computer may
become unresponsive. Yes, No."

....and then I always choose "yes" and then things proceed normally.

Question: is there anything I can do to eliminate the continual coming-
up of this dialogue box?

I thank you in advance for your attention to this question.

Tools, Internet Options, Advanced, Browsing and check boxes before
Disable Script Debugging (Internet Explorer and before Disable Script
Debugging (Other).

Pip22,

Sorry to inform you - Firefox DOES have an "Unresponsive script" dialog - i
found this post because I'm troubleshooting a problem where automated testing
in Firefox keeps throwing this dialog. Furthermore, increasing the timeout
doesnt help as it just waits longer to show the dialog. I think its something
to do with my testing environment (Selenium 0.83 if anyone wants to know).

Anyway, I havent found any way to turn this off entirely in IE or Firefox -
you would have expected them BOTH to have a config setting to "always stop"
or "always continue" scripts after they reach the max runtime - its
ridiculous how the user needs to click a button to continue - why not just
show it somewhere else and NOT interrupt browsing (e.g. privacy warnings,
page errors dialog, or console in FF)!? .... But oh well, dreams are free
