I installed fresh Windows 7 and drivers for my PC hardware, after that I installed Mozilla Firefox 3.6. And I'm constantly getting this error "A script on this page may be busy, or it may have stopped responding." I'm even getting that on this website.
I've only updated java and adobe flash player. So there is no extensions or anything, just fresh system and fresh browser installed. In error console it says next for example: "Error: Permission denied for <http://media.livepromotools.com> to call method Location.toString on ...any website..." And at this website it says this script is unresponsive when promt pops out: "Script: http://mozcom-cdn.mozilla.net/includes/min/min.js?g=js:36" or this one "Script: https://support.mozilla.com/media/js/common-min.js?build=3fabbc0:16" I've even reinstalled Windows, and same thing happens again :( Please help
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

HT4818 how do you install the windows 7 drivers for a mac os x 10.8.2?
I have this question because the instructions say you need to use the CD/DVD included in the box my macbook pro came in... but mine did not come with any CD... so where can I find it?
When you start Boot Camp Assistant one of the first menu items is to download the Windows Support software. Did you do this step?
The instructions you read and are referring to are for Snow Leopard and older computers that came with an operating system DVD.
You should also visit the Boot Camp forum where your question has been answered many times. https://discussions.apple.com/community/windows_software/boot_camp -
As an early adopter (and champion) of Firefox, it is with great sadness that after more than 10 years I find that I will need to un-install Firefox and move to another browser due to your ongoing compatibility issues with Shockwave Flash (a page freeze with an eventual pop-up message saying "shockwave flash may be busy, or it may have stopped responding..." on any and every page that has flash content). It has made my browsing experience horrible for more than half a month, and I've invested more than a week trying to address it. I started with all of the tweaky recommendations from your support site, Adobe's support site and many 3rd party sites; then a Firefox reset, and then eventually moved on to complete clean re-installations of Firefox and Adobe. Nothing fixed the issue. And it is an issue that doesn't occur on other browsers like IE, Opera and Chrome. Frankly it just shouldn't be this hard, and I believe you should be addressing it head on. I see from many online forums and your support site that I am far from alone. Do a quick Google search of "Firefox, shockwave flash may be busy, or it may have stopped responding" if you actually need to confirm this. I am using modern hardware (HP laptop with an i7 processor) and a major, supported OS (Windows7 64-bit). I hope for your sake you get it figured out. If you do, feel free to let me know... I might consider coming back, though frankly this may just be a sign that the Mozilla of old is no more. It makes me sad for both of us.

Strangely I tried all the suggested fixes for the problems of Script errors especially related to adobe. In addition when I clicked the firefox icon it took a long time to load. None of the suggested fixes in the forum has changed or fixed either of these 2 problems.
Yesterday I entered services.msc and changed all of my microsoft network services and services related to my adapor that said manual to automatic. I did this unrelated to firefox but because my network/wifi was connecting slowly when I booted up my computer. I then rebooted my computer.
To my surprise not only did my wifi connect faster but firefox now loads normally and all the script error messages related to adobe have disappeared. Firefox has worked perfectly now for 2 days.
For my individual situation my firefox problems were all related to network services being set to manual rather then automatic. How this effects firefox is unknown to me but must somehow be related to how firefox is accessing the network. -
When I try and move an application to my application folder from the installer and when I try to empty the trash, I get the error message, "The operation can’t be completed because you don’t have permission to access some of the items." This has only been an issue since I upgraded to Lion. I'm using a July '07 white Macbook 2.16 Intel Core 2 Duo. In my trash I only have an older version of a software that I updated (Divy). The software I'm trying to install is Angry Birds Rio.
Always use the same websites you are having problems with so you can monitor the changes.
Try the reset for Safari:
And for Firefox:

Try logging in to the guest account as well to see if you have the same problems there, it might be a logging in issue. -

so, I have read the many other threads on this problem:
1. I just installed firefox for the first time - this happens on facebook and many other sites
2. I have reset firefox - did not fix the problem
3. I have checked all my extensions and plug ins for up to date
4. I turned off hardware acceleration
5. I tried disabling all my plug ins
6. I used to use firefox, but it started doing this and I was never able to resolve this and went to chrome.
I am using Win 7. No problem, ofr the most part, using IE or Chrome, I just wanted to try firefox again. Does it not work with win 7?You can try to clear the Flash local storage and settings if the problem is with the Flash plugin.

I am going to go nuts if I don't fix this soon, please help!The most likely cause is a problem with Java on your system - older and/or messed up Java installations seems to cause this issue sometimes.
To fix:
Step 1: Try installing latest Java version. Check your Firefox/system browser plugins from this page, and install latest version: [http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/plugincheck/ Mozilla Plugin Check Page] (also works for most other browsers)
If latest Java (currently "Java(TM) Platform SE 6 U20 - Next Generation Java Plug-in 1.6.0_20 for Mozilla browsers") does not fix the problem, you may have more versions installed on your system causing problems for each other. This leads us to -
Step 2: Uninstall those you can from Control Panel -> Add/Remove programs. To make sure it is properly cleaned out, see [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/forum/1/595817#threadId608043 these excellent tips from noah_sumo] to clean out Java completely, then install latest version again from the [http://www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp Java.com download page].
If you ''still'' get this error, you may have Norton or another security program which can also in some cases cause this issue. That takes us to:
Step 3: Configure security program correctly.
For Norton 360 see [[Configuring Norton 360]].
For Norton Internet Security, see [[Configuring Norton Internet Security]].
For other firewall programs, see [[Firewalls]].
If none of these steps solves the problem, please provide any detail you can think of that may be related and let us know, and we will try to find other solutions to get this solved. -

Since a day or two I have been getting the same error message: "A script on this page may be busy, or it may have stopped responding. You can stop the script now, open the script in the debugger, or let the script continue."
I am not an IT expert, however I've read similar posts online and tried lots of the suggested steps such as:
- deleting browsing history and cookies
- resetting Mozilla to factory settings
- uninstalling and re-installing Mozilla
Unfortunately, the problem is still the same. What can I do? I work from home and need the internet to work 100%.
By the way, the browsing works fine in other browsers, just not Mozilla.
ThanksYou can try to disable hardware acceleration in Firefox.
*Tools > Options > Advanced > General > Browsing: "Use hardware acceleration when available"
You need to close and restart Firefox after toggling this setting.

Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problem.
See "Creating a profile":

If the new profile works then you can transfer files from a previously used profile to the new profile, but be cautious not to copy corrupted files to avoid carrying over problems.

I keep getting script errors when accessing Amazon Seller merchant pages. I get the following 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: chrome://spautofill/content/spOverlay.js:150, I also get js210 as well. I have cleared all cookies and history and unistalled Firefaox and reinstalled. Been thru my AVS and set the site as trusted in every possible place. Still get the problem. Do not get it with IE on same PC.
== URL of affected sites ==
https://sellercentral.amazon.co.ukSame problem but with a different vendor site:
https://www.webvitamins.com/myfavorites.aspx
Not only does the page hang, but the other tabs also hang.
I contacted the vendor and their reply was "we were told that this looks like a script that is used by "Sticky Password", third-party software that must have been installed on your browser. However, our website did not install it and does not have anything to do with it." As far as I can tell, "Sticky Password" is not installed on my Firefox.
Same problem as above occurs, but with IE 8.0.6001.18702. Therefore, it is not unique to Firefox.
CAUSE DETERMINED: Have determined that this problem only occurs when Kaspersky Password Manager is installed. In Firefox, if the "Password Manager Autofill Engine" add-on is disabled, the problem goes away. -

Hello people, sometimes I would get the message "Shockwave Flash may be busy or it may have stopped responding". There is no way I can fix this. I have tried Google and they don't show tutorials on how to permanently fix this. What year is this? 2002? Not it's not. It's almost 2015. Can you please fix this for Firefox 34 or newer?
Shockwave Flash is an Adobe product - it's up to them to fix it. All we can do here at Mozilla Support is offer suggestions that have worked for us and other users.
Have you tried Adobe Support?
https://forums.adobe.com/community/flashplayer
Mozilla is working an a project code named Shumway - http://mozilla.github.io/shumway/ - that will play SWF files and eliminate the for having the Flash Player installed for Firefox. -
Shockwave flash may be busy or it may have stopped responding
I'm running Windows 8 and using mozilla as my browser. Lately, it's taking a while for a page to load. I'll end up getting this message "Shockwave flash may be busy or it may have stopped responding' and I'm prompted to either continue or to quit shockwave. It's happening on a variety of web pages I'm trying to visit. I'd love your help to solve this problem!

I had the same problem. I found that if you go to the link below and scroll down to is shockwave working. Then click onto the first blue sentence-link to see if you have it installed or not. If not, click onto the button for downloading Shockwave. Once completed, go into Firefoxes ADD-ONS. Look up shockwave DIRECTOR and enable it. For good measure, I went into CONTROL PANEL on my 'puter. Then into add programs. Then to shockwave BUT I clicked onto PROPERTIES and made sure that it was UNBLOCKED and certificate installed.
