How do I get rid of the "Stop running this script?" box

[shempmcgurk]

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.

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
