Fix Firefox "Unresponsive Script" warnings

Recently i was facing this problem while writing some Automated Web Functional testing using selenium that firefox pops a warning for unresponsive script (for some how i had to use Thread.sleep(1000)).

This is not only annoying but also hearts the efforts for producing unattended scripts.

Google again come to rescue and i got this from. So the solution goes like:
Go the hidden configuration page in Firefox by typing about:config in the address bar . (make sure that you are doing this for the profile you are using for selenium)
In the 'Filter' box, type script_run_time. This will narrow the options to dom.max_script_run_time and dom.max_chrome_script_run_time.

Right-click it and choose Modify. A box pops up. Change the number to something bigger like 40. 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 there name.

Lately I've been doing Web service testing using Visual Studio 2005 Team Edition for Software Testers. When I started testing using Team Edition, the features available in the "Software Testers" version were new to me and very confusing. I was able to quickly overcome my inexperience with a set of videos found at ASP.net. There are 27 in all, and the series is entitled: Videos on how to improve the quality and integrity of your software solutions. I didn't watch every one of them but I intend to. Check 'em out if you're just getting started with VS 2005 for Software Testers and I guarantee it'll give you a serious boost and make you productive a lot faster.

There is also a great video series available on MSDN entitled How Do I?. They have a specific subset based on testing entitled: How Do I: Use .NET Code to Customize Coded Web Tests?


Avoid the fumbling around and watch somebody do it first. It makes things so much easier!
