Created attachment 11900 [details] Unresponsive script dialog I've been getting an annoying "unresponsive script" dialog on firefox that I'm used to getting on badly overloaded sites but never on wikipedia. Now EVERY page on wikipedia is throwing one of these before loading any article (after I click the 'stop script' button, see attachment). It happens on both windows and linux (ubuntu) versions of firefox. I asked on the mediawiki IRC channel and was suggested to file a bug because apparently this was something expected to happen to a minority of users of wikipedia.
This appears to a fault CN for the fundraising testing.
(In reply to comment #1) > This appears to a fault CN for the fundraising testing. There seems to be like 2 different bugs here: 1) The banner is obviously partly broken with %AVERAGE% and RDRDRDRDRDRDRDRD 2) mwEmbed JS problem + the DB error I noticed in the enwiki logs. I mitigated the assumptions that CN made that it would be running on the correct wiki...

Just reporting that I'm not getting the dialog anymore. I saw the banner, closed it and after loading other wikipedia pages it didn't show anymore.
(In reply to comment #0) On behalf of the fundraising team I apologize -- we did have a bug in one of the banners that caused this behavior in countries with '$' as part of their currency string. I thought I had fixed this issue on Friday; apparently not. Even though you're not still seeing this issue does not unfortunately mean that others are not. Would you kindly visit https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Random?reset=1 and report back on if you saw a banner, and if so if it hung? If it did hang; it would be very useful to me if you could visit https://bits.wikimedia.org/geoiplookup and tell me what that reports your country as. Thanks.

As I said earlier, since reporting the bug it was quickly fixed and I haven't had any wikipedia pupage hang on me and the banner has indeed appeared a couple of times. Country on geo look up: "country":"DO" (Dominican Republic).
Cool; I'll mark this as fixed then :)
Thanks! The response to this was very quick, even though it seems to be a problem that didn't happen to a lot of people.
