> 1. So if a page has a hung subframe, we will only show the notification if the user tries to interact with the hung subframe, not anywhere else on the page?

Yes.

> 2. And then we will show the notification at the top of the page? If the user clicks the notification's "Stop It" button, will that stop only the scripts in the hung subframe, leaving the rest of the page's scripts running?

Yes.

> 3. The slow script notification's current wording is "A web page is slowing down your browser. What would you like to do?" Do you think we should change the wording? For the subframe crash notification (bug 1644911), we used the wording "Part of this page crashed." We could change the slow script notification to say something like "Part of this page is slowing down your browser. What would you like to do?"

I proposed almost that exact wording to rtestard and betsymikel - the consensus was that the existing wording is the best we can do and that the distinction would over-complicate things for users.

Does that all sound good?

EDIT: I do kind of lean towards the text you propose, but I don't feel super strongly about it. If you'd like to start a chat with everyone involved please feel free!
