The timeout values are a bit small in your version, especially when running on a slow computer. Firefox 2.0 will behave better in this regard.

In the mean time, you can try the following setting :
dom.max_script_run_time = 10 sec (it used to be 5 seconds)
you can set these by typing "about:config" in the location bar, and then look for "dom.max_script_run_time". Double-click the line to change the value.
