How to avoid the Unresponsive Script popup in Firefox with long running Javascript?

Question

I want to benchmark some Javascript code in the browser, but it may trigger Firefox\'s \"Warning: Unresponsive script\" popup. This allows the user to click \"Stop script\"

Answer 1

You have to break up long actions into smaller ones and perform them in turns. This will also allow a better progress indication.
