Starting last week my netflix queue pauses when it gets to the "Update your Queue" button.  After a minute it gives me the "Warning: Unresponive Script" box, and asks if I want to continue.  When I continue the "Update" button appears right away.  I have reported this to Netflix.  They first recommended I download Netscape or Internet Explorer into my Mac.  They even gave    dead links to IE.  I responded that this was no help, to which they told me to contact you and tell you that it was a problem with Firefox.    

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Open your Queue using Firefox 1.5 or 2.0.
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
I get the "warning: Unresponsive Script" box.

Expected Results:  
Loaded with no issue, as it had done two weeks ago.

I have tried this at both my home and work station at MIT and have had the same results every time.

I don't recall seeing this at all last year on any Mac browser (I used Camino for sure and may have used Firefox on Windows as well). I think they FIXED it.
