This is probably not a FireFox problem but rather a problem with the script on
that page. That popup happens when a script is taking too long to execute with
no results returning.

what is the default time before you see this alert? is it 10 sec? what is the value in IE?
I see it more often than before after FF 1.5. did the value of this parameter changed (got smaller than before)?

FF 1.5 default for dom.max_script_run_time was 5 sec.
FF 2 and up default is 10 sec

I get this often on Firefox, not on IE and not when I check the box in options not allowing colors to be changed...

Indeed. However, if there are certain websites on which the alert pops up and you think this is an actual bug, please report it.

About Places: The bugs described here were encountered a lot when it was in development, but since Fx3 it's stable. If you still encounter a problem that may be a bug, please don't hesitate to report it.
