When you are just staring at your screen, believing that nothing is happenning on your computer, all sorts of things are going on in the background eg, it has to keep checking the keyboard to see if you're trying to "talk" to it, checking to see if the l;atest posts has updated in AB etc. These are scripts. Sometimes one of these scripts will get stuck and will be taking longer than the computer expects for it to finish - "there is a long-running script etc etc". Just stop it.

It means there's a script (bit of computer code) running on a website which has become unresponsive.
It happens with Firefox a lot
