Firefox keeps giving me a non responding script popup, regardless of the site it is on when I load it. Plus it loads almost 50% slower than it previously did.

It suddenly started taking a long time to load FF, and everytime it DOES load, I get this:
"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: resource:///modules/XPIProvider.jsm:171"
Regardless of what site I am on, be it a blank page, Google's homesite etc. Navigating on the web is a pain because everything is slower and laggy, when it wasn't before.

You have very few extensions it would hardly matter if you test disabling one at a time or half at a time. The problem is usually an extension, but I really don't know what to make of these two bug reports:

    You have to restore the device within iTunes. You want to use the same computer that you always sync with so that you can restore your app data and settings. You can restore with any other computer, but you will lose everything on the iPad.
    This will tell you how to restore

    You will probably need to use recovery mode

    Courcoul is correct, it's Flashback, and installing the latest Java-related updates in Software Update will remove it.

    Do you mean you have a Macbook Pro (laptop) versus a Mac Pro (desktop)?
    You can back up the MBP, restart using Command+R to boot into the Mavericks Recovery HD, erase the Mactintosh HD and Reinstall OS X. Then you can go through setup and configure it with your information and Apple ID. Mavericks should not prompt you for an Apple ID when it goes through the install since that OS is free.
    One thing you might want to consider is asking the previous owner to unregister the MBP from his Apple ID if he previously registered it. Then you can register it under your Apple ID.
    The previous owner should have wiped it clean and reinstalled the OS that came pre-installed before selling it.

  • Safari and firefox stop working after a few minutes of browsing, regardless of what site I'm on. I have to restart my computer to get internet access again but it only works for a few more minutes, then I have to restart again. Please help!

    Safari and firefox stop working after a few minutes of browsing, regardless of what site I'm on. I have to restart my computer to get internet access again but it only works for a few more minutes, then I have to restart again. I don't get a spinning ball, it just stops working at whatever page it's on. I can close the program just fine but when I re-open it, either safari or firefox, it freezes trying to load the hompage. This started a few days ago after trying to stream a movie on my computer. I'm on a Mac Air OS X Version 10.6.8 and have downloaded all updates. When I go into finder, it says I have over 80 gigs available. Is there some other memory cache that I need to check? Thanks so much for your help.

    It's not a router problem as I explained in my post. If it was a router problem then I wouldn't have the problem everywhere I go. It is an issue with the software.
    Then I guess the millions of people running 10.5.7 with no issues are just hallucinating that their machines are working fine?
    I'm not trying to belittle your issues; you're certainly having them and I know first hand how annoying an intermittent AirPort issue can be. (In fact, mine was due to an AirPort driver bug that no one else seemed to suffer from.)
    The single best diagnostic you could do is take your system running 10.5.7 to an Apple Store, and try using their in-store network.
    If your machine performs flawlessly, it may be a router issue.
    If your machine has connectivity issues there, it may be a hardware problem with your machine.
    There have been numerous people in multiple threads over the years who swore that an update was buggy because things used to work, but returned later to sheepishly admit that they took their machine in, a problem was found and fixed, and now their Mac works flawlessly with the newer software.
    But simply reinstalling 10.5.5 in no way means the explanation of how firmware bugs may be at play here is incorrect.
    In the context of that explanation, all you've done is possibly reinstall software that asks to add "2 + 3."

  • I downloaded songs to my phone at xmas and when i plugged in to my laptop it wiped the phone of new purchases when i try and download them to my computer in itunes via previous purchesses it wont load the list and i keep getting error 10053 can any1 help

    Syncing shouldn't trouch you photos unless you have photos in a Photo Library album.  These would be photos that were synced to your phone from your computer.  If you do have any, you'll need to use an app like PhotoSync to transfer them to your computer prior to syncing.
    If you prefer to backup your camera roll photos prior to syncing, open iTunes and go to Preferences>Devices and check "Prevent...from syncing automatically".  Then connect your phone to your computer and import them as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083.
    Then, to minimize data loss, follow the steps in this user tip: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141.  To follow the steps, first open iTunes and go to View>Show Sidebar.  Also, Transfer Purchases is now located in File>Devices.

  • After installing the latest update, firefox keeps giving me "not responding" message and has slowed down

    In addition, whenever I open tabs the browser starts pausing for a while. This didn't happen before. I think there might be some sort of inconsistency in the latest update of firefox which was automatically installed yesterday.

    It's possible that you are having a problem with some Firefox add-on that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?
    Whenever you have a problem with Firefox, whatever it is, you should make sure it's not caused by one (or more than one) of your installed add-ons, be it an extension, a theme or a plugin. To do that easily and cleanly, run Firefox in [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode safe mode] (don't forget to select ''Disable all add-ons'' when you start safe mode). If the problem disappears, you know it's from an add-on. Disable them all in normal mode, and enable them one at a time until you find the source of the problem. See [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes this article] for information about troubleshooting extensions and themes and [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+plugins this one] for plugins.
    If you need support for one of your add-ons, you'll have to contact its author.
    If the problem does not disappear when all add-ons are disabled, please tell me, so we can work from there. Please have no fear of following my instructions to the line, as all can be easily undone.

    Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

  • After most recent update, Firefox keep hanging intermittently with "Not Responding".

    After the most recent update, my Firefox browser begins to hang intermittently with "Not Responding". I have checked the extensions and plug-in like Java, all of them are the latest updated ones. Everytime I open a new site or click on links to load another page, it happens. Every single time.

    '''is there a solution ''(temporary OR permanent)'' for this problem yet?'''
    i tried '''EVERY possible alternative'''; even when opened in ''''''safe mode'''''' or when installed for the first time w| '''NO addons or ANYthing else''' but the '''original default settings''', still does the same thing.
    mozilla people?? really?? no answer|feedback|suggestions, anything at all from u guys??
    if it isnt a version (browser, OS, addons, etc) issue, what is it that separates us from the users not having the problem?
    this is is very frustrating; h|e it's even more frustrating when there is no response from tech support. is it because there havent been enough people who have reported this same issue so there can be some interest & find a fix; OR is it that u dont know; OR that there is not & will not be any fix?
    we cant continue being users if we cannot use it. it's really my favorite browser, but if it doesn't work & u guys dont have a fix for it, then users w| this same problem wont have any other option but to switch to a different browser permanently.
    really mozilla??? nothing? a reply would be very nice...

    My imac keeps giving me a spinning color wheel when i open and close applications and also when I am typing in programs. It happens and spins and then releases. I have done the following: Run virus software and found no problems, I have reinstalled the operating system, I have reloaded Iworks software, I have checked system prefrerences and still the problem continues. What could the problem be and how can I correct the problem?

  • Why does Firefox keep defaulting to Yahoo search instead of Google regardless of correcting the preference?

    Not much more to say really, started a week ago so i changed my home page pref's etc and it just goes back to yahoo.

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
    *Do not click the Reset button on the Safe mode start window or otherwise make changes.

  • On one desktop in my shop, Firefox keeps opening a software update screen. If I click the next button allowing the update to proceed, it will state that it's connecting to the update server. It will do that all day and never finish.

    Happens every time I boot the desktop and open Firefox for the first time.

    Do a clean (re-)install:
    Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
    * Firefox 4.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
    * Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.
    * Do not remove personal data if you uninstall the current version.
    * It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
    Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder] and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

  • Is it possible to allow a single popup event on a website without giving blanket popup permission for the site?

    Using comcast.net for email, I cannot open an attachment due to popup blocking. I'd like to be able to open selective attachments, without giving permission to open all popups on the site, as there are many.

    Do you see an icon in the right corner of the Status bar if a pop-up is blocked?
    You should be able to only allow that specific pop-up if you click that icon.
