I restored Firefox to its default settings but the slowness, crashing and non-responsiveness are not resolved

Hello fellow-users of Firefox,
I followed the advice stated in the Support article about slowness, crashing, etc. by restoring Firefox to its default settings. But the problems didn't go away. The browser remains slow and still gives me error messages about a non-responsive script or plugin and crashes. To make matters worse I don't see the menu items on the top toolbar I was so used to using, like File, Edit, View, etc. I used the View menu very often to zoom in on texts too small for me to read. Now I can't do that. I tried to drag some icons from the menu on the top right-hand corner of the page onto the top tool bar above the address bar, but this is not the same as what I was used to using before, And there are no File, Edit, View, Tools icons in the menu. So now I'm seeing my g-mail inbox in tiny little characters. I tried using the magnifier suggested in the Troubleshooting page of Support, but it's too cumbersome so I gave up.
Would someone kindly please help me out on these issues? Thank you very much in advance.
Regards,
Tom Graciano (globmart)

My pleasure!! :)

Constant script errors and non-responsive

I receive constant script errors and non-responsive errors using Firefox, as do many of my friends. I am using Facebook and Mafia Wars by Zynga
Here is an example of one:
A script on this page may be busy, or it may have stopped responding. You can stop the script now, or you can continue to see if the script will complete.
Script: http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=508888121:7
I have tried the instructions on this page
http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Warning+Unresponsive+script?s=script+errors&as=s
however, I get an error message when I try to access Config and enter:
Navigation to the webpage was cancelled
Please help fix this or I'm going to have to use a different browser and I like Firefox better than the other options.
Thank you.

Thank you Jeff for your response. However, that question is 1 year old and I no longer have that problem. I hope that your answer will help others.

In Yahoo email, I continually get "non-responsive script" and my system hangs so I can't do anything. Doesn't happen in IE.

This is an intermittent problem that seems to become worse as I continue a session in Yahoo email. I suddenly can't scroll, continue typing an email, or even switch to another site. A message window pops up that says a non-responsive script is running in the background and lists one of at least two different Yahoo mail client addresses at the bottom of the message. Sometimes responding to the message results in nothing but subsequent messages saying the same thing. The only thing I can do is close Firefox and open IE to continue with my emails. I don't remember the specific URLs.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
See:
* [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
* Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
* Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

"non-responsive script" -- appears on screen/ extreme slows down or freeze/field can appear as many as 7 times each time i click on stop "non-responsive script"/each time the field returns immediately on screen.Frustrating!I dislike freeze or slow...

I researched the net and a lot of people are having the same problem, but did not find answers.
1. I turn on the PC and experience very slow to open firefox.
2. Then a field pops up "Non-responsive script may be what is slowing down your computer". There is computer language written in the field. In this field are 2 small fields to click on: "continue" or "stop script". I can click on stop or continue numerous times and no reaction. Then I click on close no reaction. Then finally it goes away only to pop back up as many as 6 or 7 times. It can occasionally take as long as 20 min. to open the browser. Other times the computer is just slowed down.
3. There appears to be no pattern as to when this "non-responsive script" field can appear. Even when I first turn on the PC and have not opened the browser yet it can appear in the upper left hand corner of the screen.
4. Any suggestions or help you could provide would be appreciated.

Why does iCloud email run so slowly in Firefox? Typing is frequently stopped and "non-responsive" shows up and everything freezes for a while

Why does iCloud email run so slowly in Firefox? Typing is frequently stopped and "non-responsive" shows up and everything freezes for a while. Doesn't happen with Outlook or Google?

Hi,
You can consider the [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/reset-firefox-easily-fix-most-problems Reset Firefox] feature via '''Help''' ('''Alt''' + '''H''') > '''Troubleshooting Information'''. If it is okay, you can then install the Mozilla Archive Format add-on.
If you have security software installed you can try to delete all existing entries for Firefox and its sub processes in the different configuration modules and try to fully trust/allow Firefox afresh. Even after network access is completed, Firefox would still need unlimited access to its disk cache/memory as well as its files. Please see [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Firewalls this].

Non-responsive scripts after installing Flash Player 11.3.300.257

Adding more info, I do not happen to have RealPlayer installed.
After updating FlashPlayer to the latest version I experienced non-responsive scripts - I use NoScript plugin with Firefox, as well as Java 7 update 4.

Java 7 update 5 has been just released, thanks for replying.
I did not install it though, in order to try to reproduce the problem.
I am a Mechatronics Engineer and I have a non-common OS and software configuration.
There is a numerical simulation application in my system which requires a programming language compiler to run, and such compiler requires the OS primary SDK and framework to be "understood" by the system.
That said, I believe all the debugging routines might be somehow limiting FlashPlayer abstraction layer functionalities.
As awkward as it may seem now, Firefox did not crash after one absolutely random measure I took.
I opened this page: http://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/downloads.html and downloaded Windows Flash Player 11.3 Plugin content debugger (for Netscape-compatible browsers) from this link: http://download.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/updaters/11/flashplayer_11_plugin_debug.exe.
Although there is a hanging before opening the about page and Youtube, flash content is indeed presented.
Well, there might be a different abstraction layer approach regarding this content debugger version.
I wait for further insight from you guys.

Keyboard on 9105 squeaky and non responsive

9105 - Left hand side of keyboard is squeaky and non responsive. Makes it very difficult to type. Any suggestions?

if I were you I would go to the carrier support and have the device changed.
The search box on top-right of this page is your true friend, and the public Knowledge Base too:

Flash causes "page contains secure and non-secure..."

Hi All,
I have a flash menu on my web store .php pages and am getting
a "this page contains secure and non-secure items..." in IE7 in
Vista. I think this is because of the Flash menus, but thought I
had taken care of this by making the codebase embedding to
"https://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=7,0,19,0"
Any suggestions on how to deal with this?
Thanks, Scott

Thanks so much ShadowKnyte for the reply. Turns out it wasn't
the Flash menu, after all, as it did have the embedding links set
to https. In fact, it was my Google analytics call at the end of
the page. It needed to be changed to:
<script src="https://ssl.google-analytics.com/urchin.js"
type="text/javascript"></script>
In case that helps anyone else out.
Cheers, Scott

When playing games on my iPod touch. Some are stutters and non responsive

Trying to play games on my iPod touch and they are slow, stuttery and non responsive. iPod software is up to date

Do the games require an internet connection? If so then maybe slow connection.
otherwise:
Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

How do I fix the gray screen and non responsive cursor after iMac sleeping?

Mavericks won't install, the button in App Store is blank and non-responsive.

This is extremely frustrating, and I have read every website trying to answer this issue. None of their problems match mine.
I tried to download Mavericks yesterday. It appeared to download as normal, with the icon in launch pad, but the progress bar never moved. I cancelled the download, and tried to restart it. The download button is non-responsive. I've tried going to the store tab, clicking unfinished downloads, and it says all downloads are complete.
When I go to purchases, Mavericks is listed under "other downloads," but the button is solid black with no text, e.g. download or install, and is non-responsive. Clicking the button does nothing.
I have tried using CCleaner to clean the app store's cache, restarting the computer with a full shutdown, quitting and restarting App Store, etc. Nothing works.
If I close and reopen App Store after a full shut down, Mavericks will disappear from the purchases menu. If I go to Mavericks, click "free upgrade," then button changes to "install." When I click install, nothing happens. Mavericks reappears under the purchases menu with its button, again, completely black with no text. The button is non-responsive.
Having a $2,500 Mac, I have to say that I am extraordinarily upset with the shoddy work of Apple over the past few years. For $2,500 I expect the product to work.

Actually, it appears to have started downloading, even the the purchases tab still doesn't reflect it.
Try what I did, typing "sudo nvram boot-args="-x"" (include the quotations around the -x), and then entering your account password.
Reboot the system, which will cause it to do a full reboot (you'll find your mac operates very slowly). Log into your account, then try hitting "free upgrade" and "download" from the Mavericks page in app store (not the purchases tab). It will ask you for your Apple ID and password, then it *should* automatically take you to launch pad.
If the download doesn't seem to be progressing, press the icon in launch pad to pause it. Exit launch pad and scroll down in App Store to 'free apps" on the right side. Click to download one of them, enter your password and Apple ID as usual, and see if it downloads. Once finished, hit the Mavericks icon again to unpause it. It should start then. It's clearly a very large install, so over the past thirty minuites the progress bar has moved roughly a milimeter.

Community Forum slow and non-responsive?

Hi All
Anyone else having troubles with the site this morning?
Seems slow, non responsive, many of the hyperlinks do not seem to connect. Pages do not seem to refresh.
(If I have helped you in any way to say "Thank You" please click on the star next to the message. Thank You)
If I have solved your Issue please click the "Mark as accepted solution" button.

Hi Devon_Dave,
Working alright for me for both IE10 and Chrome V29.
Though it looks like they have added the new style BT website header to correspond with the rest of the site.
Haha though it would seem that the community forum has been linked to the "Trial" version of the new site - which seems to have some broken links within the header itself.
Normal New BT website: http://home.bt.com
Trial New BT Website: http://trial-home.bt.com
As you can see the links in the header point towards the http://trial-home.bt.com ....... website.
Cheers

PS CC Frozen and non responsive.

My PS CC has frozen and become non responsive. It had been working fine until this week. I contacted Adobe support, got the usual "we can't help, contact technical support in 4 hours (please just smile and accept being punished for being in a different time-zone), or call this number to a closed office".
Has anybody else experienced their PS CC freezing and becoming non responsive?
If so did you fix it, and how?

Then you will have to go for a uninstall, then use the CS Cleaner tool and reinstall.
