Unresponsive script at launch using Firefox

anshuarya opened this issue · comments

Error:
Warning: Unresponsive script
jslib/webgl/graphicsdevice.js:2646

Software:
OS: Windows 8.1 x64
Firefox: 33.0.2

Hardware:
A6-6310 - Catalyst 14.9
A6-7050B - Catalyst 14.9
Pentium-3556U - 15.36.7.64.3960
Pentium-3558U - 15.36.7.64.3960
(no discrete GPUs)

Steps:
Run "benchmarkrunner.py --server"
Launch Firefox at "127.0.0.1:8070".
During the benchmark loading screen, the unresponsive script error occurs and Firefox gives me the choice to "Stop", "Debug", or "Continue".
If I "Continue", the test still runs to completion. If I "Stop" the test does not finish loading.

Note:
the same error did NOT occur on Chrome on the same platforms.

This issue can happen on certain hardware when processing the data stream takes a longer time to complete than a typical Javascript function. Due to the large amount of data, this might be unavoidable on some hardware.

Should include a message for the users to let them that this message can occur and that they should just select 'continue'

Is Chrome's JS engine just faster, since it doesn't happen on Chrome on the same platforms?

This really breaks automation, is there any workaround so it doesn't create a prompt?
