Firefox 1.5 - 2 Annoying Things


Software: Mozilla Firefox
Version : 1.5

I update my Mozilla Firefox since the beta version was released, and since then I didn't experience any fatal error. But still, there are 2 annoying things that I didn't experience in the previous Firefox version.

Unresponsive Script

This is the most annoying warning, because it comes up everytime I load my Java API doc (from local disk). It also comes if I upload a file which is quite large in size.

It stop the current loading process, and asking to stop or continue. If you choose continue, it'll block the browser again. If you click stop, as far as I know it will load everything correctly, so this is the correct action to take.

After doing some googling on the web, I found this solution from http://forums.mozillazine.org.

Solution:
1. Type in: about:config in your URL bar
2. Search for dom.max_script_run_time
3. Change the value to something bigger (10 or 20)

Beta Version forever

If you upgrade your Firefox from any 1.5 beta version using the automatic update, it won't change the beta setting automatically.
I have no idea what does firefox do on the beta version, but since it's mentioned in many articles, I also decided to change the setting.

Solution:
1. Open the file $FirefoxInstallationDir/defaults/pref/channel-prefs.js
2. Edit the line: pref("app.update.channel", "beta");
3. Replace the "beta" to "release"
4. Save the file, and restart firefox
