I'm constantly getting the "unresponsive script" warning, what can I do to prevent or resolve the issue?

== Issue
==
I have another kind of problem with Firefox
== Description
==
Every time I open a site I get the "unresponsive script" warning. Then randomly throughout my web surfing. It's a constant occurrence. In fact, I've yet to go a single session without receiving a warning. For several days I was logging each message by using print screen, then saving under paint. If these are required to rectify this issue, I'd gladly send them.
== This happened

Every time Firefox opened

Mozilla plug-in checker gives and error message (retry) over and over. Also I always get an unresponsive script warning when I run Firefox

There are two questions here. One is about the Mozilla plug-in checker, which generates an error massage asking me to retry. When I do it does the same thing over again.
the second is bout the unresponsive script warning I get when ever I'm on firefox

hello eric, does it help when you reset firefox (this will keep your saved bookmarks & passwords)?

Preloader Freezes, then 'Unresponsive Script' Warning

Hi folks-
This is my first Edge Animate project.
I have created a simple cross-fading 'slide show' with moving text overlays using the most recent upgrade of Edge Animate 3.0.0. 8 slides. The stage isn't that huge: 748x334 pixels. There is one .png overlay with a transparent interior to create the framing; the 8 slides revealed underneath are all Q50 'saved for web' jpgs averaging under 40kB each. I have used one of the simple preloaders in the included library and published for web.
My problem presents regardless of which browser I use (tried the latest versions of Firefox, IE, Safari, Chrome and Opera), and whether I run the published .html solo (hosted on my server), or embedded in the final web page it's destined for. Also, I get the same result when I use Ctrl-Enter from within Edge Animate to preview in my default browser (Firefox).
The problem is that the preloader gif only runs briefly, then freezes, followed by up to a minute of waiting (sometimes even more) before the first slide appears and the animation begins. Solo'd, it's just the frozen animated gif during the wait. Embedded in the final web page, the whole page, including navigation, is unresponsive until after the wait is over.
Depending on the browser, I will get various warnings. In Firefox I get the 'Unresponsive Script' warning and it identifies the unresponsive scripts as:
http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.0.3/jquery.min.js:4
Or
http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.0.3/jquery.min.js:5
Or
http://animate.adobe.com/runtime/3.0.0/edge.3.0.0.min.js:166
Or
http://animate.adobe.com/runtime/3.0.0/edge.3.0.0.min.js:45
Sometimes I've selected 'cancel script'; sometimes I've selected 'wait for script to finish'; it doesn't seem to matter which one I select. Sometimes it works immediately after making either selection; In some cases I get the warning message 2-3 times before it finally works.
I've tried both hosting the runtime files myself and on Adobe CDN. I've also tried 'Immediate' and 'Polite' for the preloader. It makes no difference.
I've also disabled all add-ons in Firefox and the result is the same, though it may take less time to recover from the freeze.
I ran a speed test and my current download speed is 13mbps, so I can't believe my paltry image files are taking this long to load...and even if they were, shouldn't the preloader continue to animate during the load?
Has anyone else seen this behavior? I sure am hoping for a solution~!
When I created something similar to this in Flash a couple years ago, it didn't even need a preloader it loaded up and ran so fast...
Quite Puzzled,
bOB

hi bOB,
I know your post has been long time ago, however recently I'm having the same issue you had, except the errors messages you're getting, my preloader stays at the same point unless I hit reload page on the browser and finally loads it. Are you still having the preloader issue even with the most recent Edge Animate version?
Thanks,
Paco

What does "unresponsive script" warning mean?

what does "unresponsive script" warning mean?

I'm having the same problem with Firefox 19 on both OS X and Windows 7. It seems to be tied to Facebook (which I have as a pinned tab). I don't have to force quit though - just hit the 'stop script' button and things proceed as usual.
I've a bug report into Firefox - if you don't have Facebook open in a tab, I don't know why you're getting the same error message.
Clinton
Update: Just received a reply - I'll give it a shot:
"Many site issues can be caused by corrupt cookies or cache. In order to try to fix these problems, the first step is to clear both cookies and the cache.
Note: ''This will temporarily log you out of all sites you're logged in to.''
To clear cache and cookies do the following:
#Go to Firefox > History > Clear recent history or (if no Firefox button is shown) go to Tools > Clear recent history.
#Under "Time range to clear", select "Everything".
#Now, click the arrow next to Details to toggle the Details list active.
#From the details list, check ''Cache'' and ''Cookies'' and uncheck everything else.
#Now click the ''Clear now'' button.
Further information can be found in the [[Clear your cache, history and other personal information in Firefox]] article.

Firefox initally opens fine , but when I try to open another tab Firefox hangs or I get an unresponsive script message

firefox initally opens fine right to my homepage. Then a few minutes later it starts hanging and I cannot scroll or do anything until it connects. Similarly when I try to open a new tab, the new tab either hangs forever, or I get an unresponsive script error message. I have tried resetting firefox and starting firefox in safe mode. nothing seems to help.

Sometimes a problem with Firefox may be a result of malware installed on your computer, that you may not be aware of.
You can try these free programs to scan for malware, which work with your existing antivirus software:
* [http://www.microsoft.com/security/scanner/default.aspx Microsoft Safety Scanner]
* [http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free/ MalwareBytes' Anti-Malware]
* [http://support.kaspersky.com/faq/?qid=208283363 TDSSKiller - AntiRootkit Utility]
* [http://www.surfright.nl/en/hitmanpro/ Hitman Pro]
* [http://www.eset.com/us/online-scanner/ ESET Online Scanner]
[http://windows.microsoft.com/MSE Microsoft Security Essentials] is a good permanent antivirus for Windows 7/Vista/XP if you don't already have one.

I keep on getting this unresponsive script error "Script: chrome://greasemonkey/content/prefmanager.js:55" . I have tried to update everything and it still showing that error and then crashing. What can I do?

I am running Facebook and leaving it on..when I come back to it or sometimes when i am using it i get this Unresponsive Script Error - Script: chrome://greasemonkey/content/prefmanager.js:55. If i click continue or stop it will go away but many times the page is frozen so i have to restart Firefox. I am not using Chrome so i am surprised about that part of the error. I have read the other posting and have tried to change the time under config......can't remember the rest and it has not worked. Please advise what else i can do.

In Firefox the use of the term chrome refers to the user interface and other elements that are not part of the web pages.
See https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Chrome
Your problems seems to be caused by the GreaseMonkey extension.<br />

Firefox has crashed numerous times on me tonight, and I keep getting an unresponsive script error (Script: chrome://devany/content/main.js:254) regardless of what website I'm on. NoScript will not block this script, and it's popping up with an increasing and alarming frequency. It's completely crippled my Firefox, and getting the a large enough window between unresponsive script warnings to get the Troubleshooting Information from Firefox took me a good 20 minutes. It's a very persistent script. I've already re-installed Firefox and restarted my computer, and scanned for viruses/malware. I'm on a Mac, if it makes a difference.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened

yay, I had this same issue, and I too browsed deviantArt and also have got Deviantanywhere add-on installed. : D
I'm so glad that You've found a solution and shared it with us.
I was really getting worried that I'd done something to get malware installed on my 'puter. *Phew* !!
I'm going to disable DeviantAnywhere after I post this and hopefully this will be fixed for me too!
I actually hadn't kept my firefox up to date. but.. *shh...*
I updated it and after I did, it told me that there was a script running that was not responding. : )
yay for FireFox~

How do I re-enable "Unresponsive Script" warning, after disabling it with "do not ask again" checkbox?

I need to re-enable "unresponsive script" warning to debug my script.

You can reset the pref dom.max_script_run_time on the about:config page.
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/dom.max_script_run_time
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Unresponsive Script Warning]
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
See:
* [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]

Every time I donwload anything, I get an unresponsive script.

Since installing Lion OSX, every time I download anything, I get an unresponsive script.

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).
See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
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.
You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

I constantly get the following error message: The backup disk image "/volumes/data/ james kehoe.sparsebundle" is already in use.

I constantly get the following error message: The backup disk image "/volumes/data/jameskehoe.sparsebundle" is already in use. This Time Machine/Time Capsul worked perfectly before I left on a four month trip. Upon returning to my domicle it will not backup and I get the mentioned error message. My wife's Mac Book Pro continues to backup normally but she did not accompany me on this trip so her computer has always remained in contact with the Time Machine. My computer is a MacBook running 10.7.5
Any help solving this problem and letting me once again backup my computer would be greatly appreciated.

This question is asked several times every day.. it is a bug.
Look at the more like this column to the right..
Solution is pretty simple..
With the TC hard disk not running.. you can feel the vibration ..
pull out the power cord.. count to 10.. plug in the power cord.
If you still have the problem report back.. mostly 98% of cases that will fix it.

Why am I constantly getting the message that I don't have enough storage space? I have upgraded to the 50GB storage plan and I am still getting the message. Help?

That message refers to storage on your iPhone, not cloud storage. You will need to move content off your phone to make more space.

Try some basic troubleshooting:
(A) Try reset iPad
Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
(B) Try reset all settings

Recently when I download photos from my Canon G11 I get one or two "unsupported image format" This seems to happen when I have taken a photo of the same subject but have zoomed in on it. Why does this happen and what can I do to prevent this?

What can I do to prevent this from happening? I would like to have all my images downloaded from camera to computer and then make my choice as to which one to keep and which to deleted.

1. You did not get an error message telling you that your iPhoto library was getting full. You got a message telling you that your HD was getting full, right?
OS X needs about 10 gigs of hard drive space for normal OS operations - things like virtual memory, temporary files and so on.
Without this space your Mac will slow down as the OS hunts for space on the disk, files will be fragmented, also slowing things down, apps will crash and the risk of data corruption - that is damage to your files, photos, music - increases exponentially.
Your first priority is to make more space on that HD. Nothing else can be done until you do.
Purchase an external HD and move your Photos and Music to it. Both iPhoto and iTunes can run perfectly well with the Library on an external disk.
Your Library has been damaged from being run on an overfull disk.
How much free space on it now?

I have 2 itunes accounts that I want to put on one iCloud, but can't get them to sync. What can I do that the instructions aren't telling me?

You don't mention anything about the music files on your computer that were used to copy into iTunes. If you have moved those files to a different location on you PC you will get that error message from iTunes. This is because iTunes will look for the music files in the original location that they came from on your PC when they were copied. If this is the case you have to tell iTunes to look in the new location for the music files or move the music files back to the original location.

I'm constantly getting the "unresponsive script" warning, what can I do to prevent or resolve the issue?
