Explanation:
By the above mentioned modification, we just allowed scripts to run for a period longer than the default. The Warning: Unresponsive script prompt occurs when a script is busy or stops responding. If we allow scripts to run longer, the problematic scripts might get enough time to load and you may no longer see the warning message. Don’t worry about the modification. It won’t break your web browser. Also, you can reset it anytime. To undo your changes, simply follow the above steps from 1 to 4. Then right clicking on the preference name and select Reset from the menu.
