javascript - How to programatically change the about:config dom.max_script_run_time value in Firefox?

Question

I am just wondering if there is any way to programatically change the dom.max_script_run_time value in the Firefox about:config window.

When the default values in my Firefox is 10, I think its too less to run a script running for longer time in my website. On when the value is set to default(i.e.10) my firefox goes Not Responding and I get warning alert message like Warning: Unresponsive Script I just need to set the value to 20 or 30 to avoid any such alerts popping often and let the script to run for longer time.

So I just need to change the dom.max_script_run_time each time the page gets loaded.

I have tested this in other browsers like Firefox, Chrome, Safari, Palemoon and Opera..

I have this problem only in Firefox

Or is there any other way rather than changing the settings and loading the page?

Any solution will be appreciated.

Answer 1

definitely, you can't change that value via web. I'm 100% sure

you should try to redesign your scripts and make your pages lighter

for example you should avoid, sadly, on firefox, as best you can

• border-radius
• box-shadow
• text-shadow
• dynamic gradients like -moz-linear-gradient -moz-radial-gradient etc
• transitions/animations and transforms
• frequent text rendering and re-rendering
• huge backgrounds especially with background-attachment:fixed
• flash objects, canvas, svg
