I cannot open add ons without an unresponsive script dialogue box appearing which stops the browser running.

I tried to open Add ons from the Tools tab on the main menu. I end up with a script error which appears repeatedly no matter whether I "continue" or "stop script" button.
When I click error console I end up with numerous lines of errors and warnings.
Should I uninstall and re-install to fix this problem?

Thanks for the response. The response you provided appears to only indicate what the cause is. It doesn't help me fix it.
I ended up having to uninstall it, except I had to remove all my personal details stuff too, because having tried to re-install with my preferences on the system just continued the problem. It was a bummer because I lost all my bookmarks.
In fact I'm noticing Mozilla is becoming dysfunctional on all my computers and it's annoying when it crashes as only task manager can close it down. All these problems appeared out of no where in the last few weeks.
Anyway I've had enough. I'm too busy to try and make sense of all the stuff on the help pages. I'm uninstalling for good this time.
Asta la vista.
I've given up on it and bid Mozilla farewell.

    I purchased an annual subscription to Acrobat Pro XI and installed on my Mac two days ago. I cannot open PDFs. I keep getting a dialogue box saying my trial has ended and asking if I want to buy the software. Was using Acrobat Pro 9 previously. It appears even that won't open. SOS!

    Hi Margot ,
    You can click on accept or buy ,which ever option you see on that dialog box.It will prompt you to type in your Adobe Credentials.You can license it by doing the same.
    If it still doesn't work ,follow these steps and see how it goes .
    Delete all the files from following folders:
    [Home]/Library/Application Support/Adobe/SLStore
    [Home]/Library/Application Support/Adobe/SLCache
    And, delete all files from following folder except cache.db
    [Home]/Library/Application Support/Adobe/AdobePCD
    Then launch Acrobat and try to activate and check.

  • Why does the Welcome to firefox tab open with my google tab every time I open the browser? And why can't the browser hold any add-ons I downloaded? I loose then when I close the browser, even tool bars have to be reinstalled every time I open the browser

    Every time I open the browser the Welcome to Firefox tab is the first tab, then a second tab opens and thats my google, then a 3rd tab opens for me to reinstall my toolbar. This has been happening for a good year. Updates have not fixed it. Others have this problem. I did a search for an answer, the question is out there but no answer. Now if I go into add ons and add a background Theme or an extension it all is gone when I exit the browser. When I open the browser again I get all 3 tabs and have to install my toolbar again. I DO NOT want to reinstall as I will loose all my saved data, passwords, bookmarks, everything! I have had this computer for a year, Windows Vista x64 bit. Its not the computer, it's the browser. If you have specific questions e-mail me and I will be more then happy to help

  • Unresponsive script screen pops up constantly freezing the browser

    It started when using the chat of Facebook but after also when playing it's games, that this screen "Unresponsive script" pops up constantly and the browser freezes till I click on the markers "Don't ask me again" and "Stop script"
    This started to happen when I updated Firefox because this never happened before.
    I loved Firefox but now it has become very annoying.

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

  • If the "unresponsive script" dialog box appears while another dialog box (e.g. a "Save As" box), the two dialog boxes lock each other out

    FF 7.0.1 on MacOSX 10.6.8 (not this machine!)
    While doing a "Save As", and while the "Save As" dialog box is showing, a second dialog box "unresponsive script" shows up. I can't deal with the "unresponsive script" box as it doesn't have focus, and I can't complete the "Save As" operation because its script has become unresponsive. I end up having to Force-Quit Firefox via the Activity Monitor.
    Any less brutal suggestions?

    figured it out:
    - power off mac and turn back on while holding down Command + R (dont do it on an external keyboard just to be safe)
    - choose the re-install Lion option (I'm sure there is another way to re-install Lion, this is just the way I did it, not saying its the best or only method)
    - DO NOT INSTALL MACBOOK (Mid 2012) Software Update 1.0 - THIS SCREWS ADOBE UP!

  • Cannot open add-ons in tools

    Just upgraded to version 23.0.1 and now the add-on tab under tools will not open.

    Can you use '''about:addons''' (paste it into the adress bar) to access the addon manager?

  • Browser won't launch when e-mailed hyperlink is "clicked" and a dialogue box appears entitled "Locate Link Browser." It used to just automatically launch Firefox or, if already running, a new tab would open. Any ideas?

    My e-mail client is MSOffice Outlook 2003. Until recently I never had any trouble opening a browser window by clicking on the hyperlink within an e-mail message. I contacted MS and was informed that they can only help if I want to use MS IE as my browser. They told me that the problem isn't within Outlook but is instead a configuration problem with Firefox. I can only think that a recent auto-update to Firefox did something unwanted that is causing the problem. Your help/advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

  • I can't open add ons. mac 10.5.8.

    Applications/Firefox.app/Contents/MacOS/components/nsExtensionManager.js:623 in English
    This is what I get when I try to uninstall persona add ons. I can't open add ons even in safe boot. This started when I used a Corvette persona.

    This issue is caused by an incompatibility of Personas Plus 1.6 with the Google Toolbar.

  • Cannot open FF again without killing Firefox.exe

    Not every time, but 9 x out of 10 if I close my entire Firefox browser (using the X or even File/Exit); the next time I try to open it, it says it's already running. I have to go into the Task Manager and End Task on firefox.exe
    Sometimes I know this is already going to happen because I can't click on the Help button.

    Hello.
    These pages will probably help you:
    http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Firefox+hangs
    https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Firefox+is+already+running+but+is+not+responding
    In any case, 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 is not disappears 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.

    I have the exact same problem. I have not changed anything. This is probably a bug or something that has gone bad with Mac OS X (10.7.2). I have not found any solution for this on the web.

    From the names I'd guess they are temporary files. If excel is running, quit and try again. If they still won't move or delete reboot. If they still won't move or delete...kill a chicken at midnight under an oak tree?

    I would try these ideas first:
