Recently, our browsers would hang when the contents URL of an HTMLPane was set to a particular website. Browsers would issue their respective Page Unresponsive messages. Then the problem disappeared suddenly and hasn't come back. We're assuming the site was the source of the issue, and the problem must have been resolved on their side, since we made no changes to cause or fix the issue.

Unfortunately we don't have a reproducible case to give you, so in general, do you have any strategies, or ideas to protect against issues that could arise from a website rendered by HTMLPane?

If it's in an iframe, the "security" attribute allows you to completely disable JavaScript - if that was the problem, and if the page would still be functional.

Outside of that, we'd have to have at least some general concept of what the actual problem was in order to be able to comment.

Completely understandable. I'll see if I can get more information.
