Since I updated to 31.4.0 (automatic update). I've been getting "unresponsive script" errors all the time, especially when clicking from one message to the next, thunderbird hangs, windows turns white, and a little later I get the error, if I hit "continue", it'll take about 10 more seconds and then I get the new message I selected to display on screen. Firefox used to have this problem a few versions back, but not anymore. It looks like thunderbird picked up the same issue :(

Hello,

I have the latest update (31.6.0) now and it seems that the problem is fixed, but when I tried with 31.4.0 in safe mode, the issue was still there.

Thank you for the help and continual development :)

Best.
