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.

  • Firefox 16.0.1 Crashes, Not Responding with Unresponsive Script Warnings and Adobe Flash Plugin Crashes

    Hello,
    I'm experiencing some issues with Firefox 16.0.1 which I had also experienced with Firefox 15.0.1.
    On numerous occasions Firefox has crashed while attempting to access a website link contained in an AOL e-mail message.
    Unrelated to that issue, Firefox has hung up frequently with associated unresponsive script warnings and occasionally with the Adobe Flash Plugin crashing. Some of the unresponsive script warnings are:

    I've reset Firefox and disabled all the plugins and yet these problems persist.
    What are those script warnings actually telling me and are there any recommendations on how to resolve these issues?
    Thank you,
    Mike

    You can check for problems caused by recent Flash updates and try these:
    *disable a possible RealPlayer Browser Record Plugin extension for Firefox and update the RealPlayer if installed
    *disable protected mode in Flash 11.3 and later
    *disable hardware acceleration in the Flash plugin

  • 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 />

    Tried all the things on the apple support site (checked USB port, deleted the 3 exe files in Task Manager, tried a new cable).  None worked.  Got the same message on my old computer.
    Any ideas??

    Amazing help from apple support over the phone.  Restoring the computer fixed the problem.

  • 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

    chrome://google-toolbar-lib/content/toolbar.js:76
    chrome://browser/content/browser.js:1922
    chrome://global/contents/bindings/general.xml:0

  • PDF addresses not longer load and display PDF in Firefox and solutions suggest to other users with problem DON'T WORK (work fine in Chrome and Safari)

    This is an ongoing problem with other users. When putting a PDF in address window of Firefox and clicking go to address FIREFOX WILL NOT LOAD AND DISPLAY THE PDF. This problem has come up in questions from other users on your site. NONE OF THE SUGGESTED SOLUTIONS WORK! (trying either the Firefox PDF viewer or the Acrobat viewer as default viewer)
    I am using Firefox 23.0.1 (as some of the other users with the same problem). This was not a problem in the past with Firefox. Safari and Chrome continue load and display PDFs just fine from their addresses. This is a big problem as I now have to inform people who want to view my PDFs NOT TO USE FIREFOX BUT TO USE SAFARI OR CHROME.

    It appears that a link to a PDF on an internet page will not download in Firefox either!
    I went to this page:
    http://www.nasa.gov/connect/ebooks/earth_art_detail.html#.UjYEzrwsU08
    and tried to download the PDF link at the bottom of the page (Download: PDF 11.3 MB) It didn't work! Nothing happens. Tried it in Safari and it worked flawlessly.
    I have a PDF file of my work in the public_html folder on my URL. I give the address generated by that file to people who want to view my work---this works perfectly in Safari and Chrome. As to your other question, can't bookmark it if I can't get to it in Firefox.

  • 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.

  • My screen gets dim and the brightness control buttons don't work

    My screen is frequently dim.  The brightness control buttons display that they are working, but the brightness doesn't actually change.  Any ideas why and what I can do?

    Thanks for the suggestion.  Actually, I had tried that but still had to go into preferences any time I wanted it brighter.  After I posted, I found a thread using some different keywords and found that people were having the same problem with OS versions up to 10.7.2 but solved it with the latest update (10.7.3).  I just installed it and now seem to be able to adjust the brightness with my keyboard no problem.  I appreciate your reply anyway!

  • How can I uninstall Firefox 8 if Remove Programs and the uninstall helper.exe don't work?

    I need to uninstall Firefox, but when I click "Remove" in Add/Remove Programs, nothing happens. I tried it several times. Add/Remove Programs shows Mozilla Firefox 3.0.6, which is strange since I have 8. I also tried running the helper.exe file in the uninstall folder, and nothing happened. I tried doing all of this after a few reboots as well as in Safe Mode, and had the same result. I searched the online forums, but I did not find anyone with exactly this same problem. I made sure Firefox was not running when I tried to uninstall it (double-checking the processes in Task Manager). I just ran Windows Update and everything else is working fine. I have no Antivirus software running. I closed all programs (down to essential Windows processes) before attempting the steps above. This is the first time I have ever attempted to uninstall Firefox.
    Thanks!

    You may only see leftover entries in Add and Remove programs, but the listed programs may have been replaced by the updated version. This can happen if the updater didn't remove those old entries.

  • IPad and the Apple support site

    Is it my imagination, or are there some parts of this support website not iPad-compatible? Like scrolling through topline items? Some oversight.

    If you want to scroll within a frame you have to use two fingers.
    This is explained in the User Guide on page 48:

  • Firefox won't open on my MacBook Pro (OSX 10.4.11). I think it just did an auto-update, and now after I've restarted, it won't open, and the Firefox web site says Firefox is not compatible with my OS. How do I go back to where it will work again?

    What more do you want? This is as much info as there is!
