How can I cure/stop this error message on startup 'Exc in ev handle: TypeError: this.oRoot.enable is not a function'

When starting Firefox 8.0, I get a '[JavaScript Application]' dialogue box with the above error message. When I click OK in dialogue box, Firefox then appears to start normally.
What could be the cause, and how do I go about curing it?

I occasionally get error messages popping up when I run Firefox 7. The messages often say "Exc in ev handl: TypeError: oSAPlg.oRoot.log is not a function". does anyone know how to fix this?

After I downloaded and installed the latest version of Firefox, I started getting these error messages every so often when I launched the browser. These messages will usually pop up every third time or so I open the browser and pop up on every page, sometimes multiple times, and I have to clear them away before I can do anything on the page. The message usually reads "Exc in ev handl: TypeError: oSAPlg.oRoot.log is not a function". Is there any thing we can do to fix this?

Why do I get the following error msg's: (1) Exc in ev handl: TypeError: oSAPlg.oRoot.log is not a function (2) Exc in ev handl: TypeError: oSAPlg.oRoot.log is not a function (3) Exc in ev handl: Error: Bad NPObject as private data!

it is happening more and more often when I start Firefox, and it takes up to four times of restarting to stop getting the error msg's.

this does not do any good if it is not reviewed by a staff Tech.

Hi. SiteAdvisor is usually located in Firefox's add ons extensions. Hope this helps.

Why do I get this warning with every new web page: Exc in ev handl: TypeError: oSAPlg.oRoot.log is not a function?

Uploaded 6.0.2 and now I get a Java script error message with each new page I access: "Exc in ev handl: TypeError: oSAPlg.oRoot.log is not a function" . Browser is working ok, but this message is a pain. What can I do?

I had this problem for a long, long time. Today I discovered if I went to Tools, Options, Enable Javascript, Advanced and deselected "Hide the Status Bar" the problem went away.
It is worth a try. Worked for me.

No longer able to add bookmarks on Yahoo Toolbar, Error message: "Exc in ev handl: TypeError: this.oRoot.enable is not a function" started when I updated to Firefox 6.0

Since updating to Firefox 6.0 I am no longer able to add bookmarks on Yahoo Toolbarl. I receive the following Java Error message: "Exc in ev handl: TypeError: this.oRoot.enable is not a function." When I hit the OK button in the error message it opens up "Add a Bookmark" and when I attempt to add the bookmark there I get this error message: "A problem occured while trying to save the bookmark. Please try again later."
Is this a comparability issue that you are not aware of? Below are the versions of Firefox and Yahoo Toolbar that I currently have installed:
Firefox: 6.0.02
Yahoo Toolbar: 2.4.0.20110815110908
Windows XP, Service Pack 3
I am having this issue on my laptop and desktop. Since I use both computers the Yahoo toolbar has been great for having my bookmarks available on both computers at the same time but no I don't have that feature. I'm told that Google's toolbar also doesn't work either.
Do you guys do any testing or Quality Assurance testing before releasing these versions?

Add-ons are the responsibility of their authors. McAfee does not even put their extension on http://addons.mozilla.org you had to install it from their site.
Disable "McAfee Site Advisor" extension which was just updated to 3.4.0, which probably took it out of the addons block list.
* "Ctrl+Shift+A" > find McAfee Site Advisor and use "Disable", and then restart Firefox.
* Do a Google Search no problem
* It seems that if you re-enable Site Advisor again, and restart Firefox you are okay. At least you know where to look if you get the error again or Google searches slow down.

I did it in my computer, but I can not uninstall the Site Advisor alone. I need to uninstsll the the total McAfee plus. What should I do?
But another user in my computer they do not have this problem. If I try to use IE or Chrome etc , I can not find this problem. I use firefox since 2006 and do not want to change another one. What should I do?
By the way I have this problem after I update Firefox6 3 weeks ago and always allow 1 plugin work. The other user in this computer they just allow firefox plugin working 1 times.
It will pop out if I disable the siteadivsor.
many thanks

Get error: "[Java Script Application] Exc in ev handl: TypeError: this.oRoot.enable is not a function"--huh?

This error is received a LOT (but not every time) when I try to select a link. This only started happening in the last few days. It's always received when I'm initially signing on. If I hit cancel or okay (there's only one option, I forget right now the exact wording) USUALLY the action then proceeds as I'd expect. But sometimes I'm presented with an incomplete web page.

Exc in ev handl: TypeError: this.oRoot.enable is not a function" i also faced this problm bt thanks to u .....its eliminated by doing my site advisor disabled.thanks a lot

Other than moving to Version 4 or 5, neither of which support Java which I need, is there a way to fix the "Exc in ev handl: TypeError: this.oRoot.enable is not a function" bug I am getting in version 3.6.23?

I have used Version 4 and 5 and unfortunately neither supports Java functions that I require. I like the look and feel of 3.6.23 but there seems to be a script error on startup of Mozilla. When I double click the Icon to open the program I get "'''Exc in ev handl: TypeError: this.oRoot.enable is not a function'''" and so far haven't been able to locate the code line to fix it. I would rather not reverse Engineer the program.
