Firefox slow to open, getting nonresponsive script warning

Was having a problem w/ Firefox not working due to incompatible version. The support forum suggested I uninstall & reinstall the latest version. This worked, but now Firefox takes forever (3-5 min.) to open, and I keep getting a "non-responsive script" warning from Windows. My computer is also having issues - it's running extra slow, so that may be the problem, but as long as I've been using Firefox I've noticed that it's slower to open than other browsers.
Any thoughts? Thanks!

I am having the same problem, but not sure what's causing the slow down. Restarting in safe mode fixes the performance problem... but disabling all plug ins and extensions in normal mode (and restarting firefox) still shows the bug. Any ideas?

Firefox will no longer open. getting "unresponsive script" warning. Script:chrome://tavgp/content/libs/include.js:595

I have been using Firefox as my home page for years. This week it will not open. Instead I get a window per question above.

This issue can be caused by an AVG extension (tavgp) that isn't working properly.

Same issue. Are you running the most recent Zone Alarm? Thats when it started for me.

I upgrade firefox from 7 to 8 and now when i start firefox everytime it opens "getting start with firefox" page, in options i select the option 'show a blank page" how can i resolve this issue?

i upgrade firefox from version 7 to version 8, now when i start firefox everytime it open self the "getting start with firefox" website, in the options on firefox i select the 'show a blank page' but its not working. i am using firefox on windows XP- SP2.

Try restarting Firefox, the one time page(s) after starting a new release should disappear. Actually this last time with 8.0 they did not come up for me.
If that doesn't work then bring up '''about:config''' and place the url of the page into the filter. Right-click on anything that comes up and use "Reset".

Firefox won't open - get error message "this operation has been cancalled due to restrictions in place on this account..."

I can't open firefox - every time I try I get the above error message. This has started after no apparent changes or updates to my system, just a normal shut down. I have tried changing the registry .htm, .html etc. file names and reinstalling as suggested but this doesn't work. The only way I can open firefox is after I have reinstalled it and it automatically launches a browser.
I can open firefox in a new user account which suggests something has changed in the account I usually use but I have no idea what since I have not made any changes myself and can't see anything that would suggest it is blocking firefox from opening. I've run a virus scan and it is coming up clean.
Does anyone have any suggestions? I'd be very grateful for some help.
Thank you.

Hi mcclausky, you may need to manually remove a policy setting from the registry. You also should scan for malware that might have created this problem.
This article lists scanning and cleaning tools other Firefox users have found helpful: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware]].
To check your Windows registry for policy settings that might affect Firefox or other programs, I suggest consulting a Windows forum or Microsoft's forums. For example:

I'll appreciate your suggestions as Firefox is not opening. A window warns: "XULRUNNER. Error: App: Name not specified in application.ini"

When trying to open Firefox a small warning window labeled XULRUNNER is appearing, with the text: "Error. App: Name not specified in application.ini", and an "accept" button. When you click in "accept" the warn ing window closes, but then nothing more happens.
I have no idea what is going on. Any ideas?

This is most likely caused by Zone Alarm software. Please check http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/880170

Firefox will not open, getting an error message about max and min do not match....

error message detail:
XULRunner
Platform version'1.9.2' is not compatible with
min version>=1.9.2.10
max version<=1.9.2.10
this occurs after clicking the normal firefox open icon from my desktop

Do a clean reinstall and download a fresh Firefox copy from http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html and save the file to the desktop.
Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer. 
Don't remove personal data when uninstalling.
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.
You can skip the step to create a new profile, that is not necessary for this issue.
See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox#Clean_reinstall
Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere (not in the Firefox program 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.

Firefox will not open, getting message "Already running, but not responding", also can't use TaskManager to close it.

Have FF4, downgraded to FF3.6.17. Still not working.
When I close out of FF, it still is in the processes tab of my Task Manager. And it won't let me do the "End Process" technique.
End up having to restart computer... Pain in butt.
Also even though I uninstalled Firefox 3.6.17, I still have these files which I can't delete.

Sounds like Firefox is "hanging at exit". That problem is frequently caused by an Extension or a Plugin. Read all of the following articles. 
NOTE: Establish a habit of exiting/closing Firefox with Firefox button > Exit or File > Exit to allow an orderly shutdown of Firefox and closing of all of the files that Firefox has open.

I get a script error Chrome:/tavg/content etc I dont have chrome!!!

Since upgrading to Firefox 5 I keep getting a script error
(Chrome:/tavgp/content/libs/include.js:595 or :447
usually crashes and then I get a firefox failure to respond
Harley

In Firefox, the word "chrome" refers to the browser frame, toolbars, etc., outside of the page.
This appears to be a problem with one or more of your AVG add-ons. If they were not disabled, you might need to disable or update them.
You can manage add-ons here:
orange Firefox button ''or'' Tools menu > Add-ons
In the left column, click the Extensions category.

Firefox was fast when I first started using. Now, very slow to open and freezes often. Frequent message is "Warning-unresponsive script". Do I need to switch back to Internet Explorer?

Switched from Internet Explorer because seemed slow. Firefox was fast at first. Then upgraded to Firefox 4 and frequently have trouble opening. Sometimes page doesn't open, or is very slow. If I try to open again I will get Mozilla Firefox Unresponsive or a message that say "Warning-Unresponsive Script". Often have to restart and do the whole thing again. Don't really want to switch back to Internet Explorer, but getting tired of taking a half hour to get into my emails!

I am having the same problem, but not sure what's causing the slow down. Restarting in safe mode fixes the performance problem... but disabling all plug ins and extensions in normal mode (and restarting firefox) still shows the bug. Any ideas?

Firefox is slow to open and close. I get a "script error" that says it may be caused by a recently opened tab. What do I do to correct this problem. It is wreaking havoc when trying to open/close or move around the internet.

I am getting a "script error" when I close out the internet, specifically Firefox. My backup internet explorer does not do this. This is slowing down the process of opening/closing Firefox. When I open Mozilla, I get "restore session" even though I have closed everything down. I have "removed program" and re-downloaded Mozilla 3 times and still this problem persists. What is causing it and how do I fix it?

-> Update All your Firefox Plugins
* https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/plugincheck/
* '''When Downloading Plugins Update setup files, Remove Checkmark from Downloading other Optional Softwares with your Plugins (e.g. Toolbars, McAfee, Google Chrome, etc.)'''

I downloaded Firefox 5.0 for Mac and now every time I want to open Firefox, I get a window warning me about downloading from the internet andwon't let me open until I answer.

I downloaded 5.0 for Mac and now when I click on Firefox icon, I get a box warning me about downloading from the internet. How do I get rid of this?
Another issue also, my bookmarks open up with the pages skewed to the right. How do I rectify?

Mozilla plug-in checker gives and error message (retry) over and over. Also I always get an unresponsive script warning when I run Firefox

There are two questions here. One is about the Mozilla plug-in checker, which generates an error massage asking me to retry. When I do it does the same thing over again.
the second is bout the unresponsive script warning I get when ever I'm on firefox

hello eric, does it help when you reset firefox (this will keep your saved bookmarks & passwords)?

I'm constantly getting the "unresponsive script" warning, what can I do to prevent or resolve the issue?

== Issue
==
I have another kind of problem with Firefox
== Description
==
Every time I open a site I get the "unresponsive script" warning. Then randomly throughout my web surfing. It's a constant occurrence. In fact, I've yet to go a single session without receiving a warning. For several days I was logging each message by using print screen, then saving under paint. If these are required to rectify this issue, I'd gladly send them.

Slow script warning when prompt choice list has more than 100 elements

Hi,
Has anyone experienced this issue in Internet Explorer version 7 and above? If the prompt has more than 100 elements (my current use-case), the prompt does not get rendered and I get the slow/busy script warning in Internet Explorer. I have not experienced this in Firefox or Chrome.
Any help is appreciated
OBIEE 11.1.1.5

Thanks you, friends!
That to resolve my issue, i made next things:
1) turn off a limit items for my list
2) used SPQuery.ListItemCollectionPosition
property,
3) and corrected little mistake in my CAML Query.
May be a punkt #2 will be enough, don't you :)
from MSDN forum...
