How can I get Firefox to stop blocking?

1 Answer

Answer :

Firefox isn’t blocking. It’s telling you that the script running on that page is more than likely in an infinite loop, and asking if you want to continue to wait for it to be finished (likely rendering your browser inoperable until you restart it), or kill the script and take the output it has now (possibly giving you an incomplete or nonfunctioning webpage). Why do you want to disable this behavior?
