When accessing a fantasy football league in a subpage of
football.sportsline.com, a dialog box appears titled "Script warning" whose text
reads "A script on this page is causing mozilla to run slowly.  If it continues
to run, your computer may become unresponsive.  Do you want to abort the
script?" with the buttons "OK" and "Cancel".

The button "Cancel" is confusing.  It could mean "Cancel the script" or "No, I
don't want to abort the script".

For clarity, instead of "OK" and "Cancel", the buttons on this dialog box should
probably read "Abort" and "Don't Abort".


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.  View a page that causes the slow-running script warning to appear.
2.  Observe the script warning dialog box.

Actual Results:  
"OK" and "Cancel" buttons are shown.  "Cancel" is confusing.

Expected Results:  
Instead of "OK" and "Cancel", the buttons should probably read "Abort" and
"Don't Abort".
This is a windows warning, not Firefox/Mozilla
This IS a mozilla warning, and also a dupe.
