You can stop the script now, open the script in the debugger, or let the script continue. Script: chrome://mozapps/content/preferences/fontbuilder.js:23 Click continue and Fx remains unresponsive then loops back to the same message. Happens with Fx 49.0.2 and Nightly 53.0a1 (2016-11-15) (64-bit) with clean profile. Ubuntu 16.04 amd64. In the same time, a similar issue appeared in thunderbird beta and earlybird : It stops responding for a long time when using preference dialog and compose window is broken. I went there to figure out why default font on some sites looks like this : https://framapic.org/h0P9CQ1u3FCi/WQDhRYVhfA0e.png This is recent too. Why everything is going wrong with all mozilla softwares at the same time and is affecting most (all?) versions ?
