Same script keeps on crashing when Firefox is left stationary on Google.com

So basically, I leave my Firefox on www.google.com when I am done with Firefox (don't judge me, lol) so I can easily get up and going once I need to use the Internet again. The problem is that after I leave and return, I always find that the same script has crashed and Firefox along with my entire system acts sluggish after I stop the script. I know the script has something to do with Google because of the script name but I want to know whether the script crash is caused by Firefox itself, an addon, or my computer. I have pasted the script below.

The name of the script is not complete, but it is likely a packed script with hardly any line brakes, so it won't be possible to see where exactly it goes wrong.

You can try to disable hardware acceleration in Firefox.

You need to close and restart Firefox after toggling this setting.
