  • I keep getting "Unresponsive Script" errors in random "jsm" files several times a day. Why?

    Several times a day I get "Unresponsive Script" popups as I browse the internet. They're almost always different. Sometimes its in tabbrowser, sometimes it has something to do with a YouTube page I have open, and sometimes it occurs when I try to save a file with the built-in download manager.
    I don't know why it does this so often. I don't have many Addons.
    I also copied the technical information about my browser to help out if it can identify why these Unresponsive Script Errors keep appearing.

    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).<br />
    See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]<br />
    <br />
    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.<br />
    You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.<br />
    You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")<br />

  • Why do I keep getting "Unresponsive Script" boxes?

    Several times a day a box will pop up and processing will stop until I click on one of the choices in the box. The message in the box is:
    Warning: Unresponsive script
    ? 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: [ I'll give examples below. ]
    Don't ask me again
    Continue Stop script
    Some examples of listed scripts:
    chrome://google-toolbar-lib/content/toolbar.js:76
    chrome://browser/content/browser.js:1922
    chrome://global/contents/bindings/general.xml:0

  • I keep getting 'unresponsive script js/ff_browser:204' asking to stop or continue; windows XP FF8

    This keeps popping up even though I am doing nothing with FF, just leaving it on my home page. Every few minutes this pm. Doesn't occur if busy browsing

    Without knowing which page you have set as your homepage, I can only guess that the page is periodically refreshing content on that page giving you those repeated error messages. You need to post the entire error message for us to help you.
    orange Firefox button > Web Developer -> Error Console - or {Ctrl + Shft + J}
    Locate that error in the list, right-click that message and select '''Copy'''. Then paste that error message unto the Reply box here.

  • I keep getting unresponsive script warnings and the suggestions on the firefox support site don't work.

    I have been getting these more and more. There is no button to push "continue," as the support page suggests, only a big question mark that can't be clicked. Nor can I type in the location bar nor close any tabs. The only thing that can be done is to quit Firefox and restart. It is very frustrating. I think I had to do it 10 times today. I am using the latest version of firefox and Mac OS 10.6.8
    I have disabled extensions (which I don't have very many of). I do not want to disable my plugins, though I have updated the ones that I can. I had to use another browser this morning to check email because this happened with firefox about 10 times. It happens of all different sites though. It is getting worse. Please help.
    Thank you.

  • How to enable JIT debugging on my Windows 7 (64 bit) computer? I keep getting different Errors popping up on my computer about debugging different programs and that JIT debugging must be enabled!

    How do I enable JIT debugging on my Windows 7 (64 bit) computer? I keep getting different Errors popping up on my computer and the latest one says when I attempted to watch a DVD video with VLC media player but this isn't the first error this week saying
    that JIT debugging must be enabled and I don't know how to do that : ( "Microsoft Visual C++  Runtime Library"  Assertion Failed! Program C:\Program Files (x86) VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe  File: vm.c
    Line: 1765
    Expression: pgcit != NULL
    For information on how your program can cause an assertion failure, see the Visual C++ documentation on asserts.
    (Press Retry to debug the application- JIT must be enabled)

    Hi Rhondavas77,
    To enable/disable Just-In-Time debugging
    On the Tools menu, click Options.
    In the Options dialog box, select the Debugging folder.
    In the Debugging folder, select the Just-In-Time page.
    In the Enable Just-In-Time debugging of these types of code box, select or clear the relevant program types:
    Managed, Native, or Script.
    To disable Just-In-Time debugging, once it has been enabled, you must be running with Administrator privileges. Enabling Just-In-Time debugging sets a registry key, and Administrator privileges are required to change that key.
    Click OK.
    More information is here.

  • I have icloud on all my devices I changed my email address and my password for them, but I can't seem to change it all for icloud. It won't let me. I keep getting a window popping up on all them asking to go to settings but in settings it won't allow me

    I cannot seem to change my email address and password on icloud. I have changed it in itunes. But On all my apple products it will not let me, I just keep getting a window popping up on all of them asking me to go to settings but when I go into setting I cannot get it to change. Help !!!

    Go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iPhone, then sign back in with your new credentials.  If all you did was modify your existing ID rather than creating and entirely new ID, you can choose Delete from My iPhone when prompted.  Your data will still be in iCloud and will download to your phone when you sign back in.

    This issue can be caused by an extension that isn't working properly.
    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.

  • Keep getting auto updates for printer which I no longer have.

    I uninstalled my canon inkjet printer.  At least I believe I did - it doesn't come up when I run a search on Finder.  However I keep getting auto updates for it, which I would like to stop getting.  I may be slow but can't figure out how to do this.... thanks.

    Try going to the hard drive level Library/Printers and delete the Canon folder there.
