First thing is when I start firefox I get a script error message that has to do with the nsSession Store. I get this three times in a row.
Also Firefox keeps becoming non responsive. I type a couple of words, wait, type a couple of more, wait, and so forth. This happens with everything, scrolling, clicking on a tab, clicking the back button, clicking on a link. I'm fed up. I thought the new update to 8.0 would solve it but it didn't.
Help!!!!I solved the problem. I closed all my saved tabs and started over with saving them. Problem solved.

Canon pixma mg3510, plug in, push ON, green light comes on, ALL buttons non-responsive
non-responsive canon pixma mg3510 wireless print copy scan , costa rica
1, I take printer out of the box
2, I install power cable. [photo paper light comes on]
3, I install paper per instructions
4, I push power switch [ green power light comes on, stays on, never blinking ]
5, All buttons are non-responsive, including STOP, even when held down 15 seconds.Tanner,
Your Lombard can run a maximum of 512MB of RAM (2x256MB). The memory module for the top slot is standard height which is approximately 2.0"; the module for the lower (bottom) slot is low-profile, meaning 1.5" or less. The standard height module will only work in the top slot; the low-profile will work in either slot. Also, these 256MB modules are unique to the early iMac, Wallstreet, and Lombard; generic 256s will not work properly.
Generally, when a powerbook's sleep light comes on when either a charged main battery and/or a power adapter is connected, and a power manager reset does not resolve the issue, you have some other hardware problem. Since the 'book is not even turned on, bad RAM would not cause this. If memory were bad, you may or may not get the startup chime, but then you would receive a dialog box on the lit display of a problem with RAM or cache memory in 9.x; OSX does not have this dialog box but nonetheless the POST (power on self-test) still runs.
When you get a power adapter, I would try this:
-remove all power;
-remove the optical drive;
-lift off the keyboard and very carefully disconnect the keyboard ribbon cable;
-disconnect the rechargeable backup battery (PRAM battery);
-lift out the microprocessor card, remove both memory modules;
-disconnect the HD ribbon cable from the logic board;
-reinstall the microprocessor card without any memory;
-connect just the power adapter, then press the power button; if no response, press the reset button on the back panel, then try the power button.
In the above, you have stripped down the powerbook to its bare essentials for a power test. If you have no hardware problem, you should have no light steady sleep light and when the power button is pressed, you should hear 1-beep...no RAM detected.

If the above produces no positive results, then you have a failed component somewhere. -
Why does iCloud email run so slowly in Firefox? Typing is frequently stopped and "non-responsive" shows up and everything freezes for a while. Doesn't happen with Outlook or Google?
Hi,
You can consider the [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/reset-firefox-easily-fix-most-problems Reset Firefox] feature via '''Help''' ('''Alt''' + '''H''') > '''Troubleshooting Information'''. If it is okay, you can then install the Mozilla Archive Format add-on.
If you have security software installed you can try to delete all existing entries for Firefox and its sub processes in the different configuration modules and try to fully trust/allow Firefox afresh. Even after network access is completed, Firefox would still need unlimited access to its disk cache/memory as well as its files. Please see [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Firewalls this].

At the same time; both Chrome; IE8 and Opera remain working. Whenever it became non responsive, there is no way to stop the process unless I turn the PC off completely(and it drag this process too). I reinstalled a few times but problem remains. It even drag the PC reboot .

Firefox becomes non-responsive when I use hotmail, and stops working. Why?
Whenever I sign into my hotmail account, Firefox stops working. The entire window dulls and I cannot do anything. This only happens with Hotmail.
I've started having the same problem quite frequently. The iTunes store is quite often extremely slow, and when it's like that, using the search box renders iTunes useless. Then I have to end-task from the task manager. I just went through that process three times in a row and finally the forth time I was able to search.
iTunes 9.0.3 -
I researched the net and a lot of people are having the same problem, but did not find answers.
1. I turn on the PC and experience very slow to open firefox.
2. Then a field pops up "Non-responsive script may be what is slowing down your computer". There is computer language written in the field. In this field are 2 small fields to click on: "continue" or "stop script". I can click on stop or continue numerous times and no reaction. Then I click on close no reaction. Then finally it goes away only to pop back up as many as 6 or 7 times. It can occasionally take as long as 20 min. to open the browser. Other times the computer is just slowed down.
3. There appears to be no pattern as to when this "non-responsive script" field can appear. Even when I first turn on the PC and have not opened the browser yet it can appear in the upper left hand corner of the screen.
4. Any suggestions or help you could provide would be appreciated.I researched the net and a lot of people are having the same problem, but did not find answers.

Since updating to Firefox 13 it not only runs slow but hangs and becomes non-responsive on all different websites. I was told that the most recent Flash update was known to be incompatible with Ffx 13, so down-dated Flash and uninstalled non-essential plugins - which definitely helped, but has not fixed the problem.
I haven't even been able to try the other potential fixes I've found on the Support site (adding into my computer's safe settings in case of firewall issue or creating a new profile) because Firefox won't work long enough for me to access them. At this point, shouldn't I just down-date to the last version of Firefox??All of a sudden firefox has become unstable - its hanging on the NYTIMEs website. I've done done everything - uninstalled, reinstalled, removed all add-ons, used default themes, reset firefox. Some serious problem here - I had to switch back to IE9. (Version 16.0.1 Firefox running under Windows 7)
Oh by the way, I'm having the same problem on different computers all of which are running the latest firefox under Windows 7 -
For two weeks I have tried to use your automatic download of the latest version 4.0.1. It would sit there telling me it is trying to connect to the download computer for hours, several times overnight. Then, it became non-responsive and error messages were sent to Microsoft who directed me to your download site. After downloading your latest version several times, the new page would open. After selecting a bookmarked site, it would open (sometimes only partially) but when I tried to scroll down, it would freeze up and become non-responsive, again prompting error messages to Microsoft. They must be getting a kick out of this. I'm running a Gateway 7200S desktop with Microsoft XP and Intel single range Pentium 4 processor. I have been using your Mozilla Firefox as my default browser for several years with much satisfaction. Unfortunately, whatever upgrades were made have rendered it useless for me.
I have had a similar problem with my system. I just recently (within a week of this post) built a brand new desktop. I installed Windows 7 64-bit Home and had a clean install, no problems. Using IE downloaded an anti-virus program, and then, because it was the latest version, downloaded and installed Firefox 4.0. As I began to search the internet for other programs to install after about maybe 10-15 minutes my computer crashes. Blank screen (yet monitor was still receiving a signal from computer) and completely frozen (couldn't even change the caps and num lock on keyboard). I thought I perhaps forgot to reboot after an update so I did a manual reboot and it started up fine.
When ever I got on the internet (still using firefox) it would crash after anywhere between 5-15 minutes. Since I've had good experience with FF in the past I thought it must be either the drivers or a hardware problem. So in-between crashes I updated all the drivers. Still had the same problem. Took the computer to a friend who knows more about computers than I do, made sure all the drivers were updated, same problem. We thought that it might be a hardware problem (bad video card, chipset, overheating issues, etc.), but after my friend played around with my computer for a day he found that when he didn't start FF at all it worked fine, even after watching a movie, or going through a playlist on Youtube.
At the time of this posting I'm going to try to uninstall FF 4.0 and download and install FF 3.6.16 which is currently on my laptop and works like a dream. Hopefully that will do the trick, because I love using FF and would hate to have to switch to another browser. Hopefully Mozilla will work out the kinks with FF 4 so I can continue to use it.
I apologize for the lengthy post. Any feedback would be appreciated, but is not necessary. I will try and post back after I try FF 3.16.6. -
Hello fellow-users of Firefox,
I followed the advice stated in the Support article about slowness, crashing, etc. by restoring Firefox to its default settings. But the problems didn't go away. The browser remains slow and still gives me error messages about a non-responsive script or plugin and crashes. To make matters worse I don't see the menu items on the top toolbar I was so used to using, like File, Edit, View, etc. I used the View menu very often to zoom in on texts too small for me to read. Now I can't do that. I tried to drag some icons from the menu on the top right-hand corner of the page onto the top tool bar above the address bar, but this is not the same as what I was used to using before, And there are no File, Edit, View, Tools icons in the menu. So now I'm seeing my g-mail inbox in tiny little characters. I tried using the magnifier suggested in the Troubleshooting page of Support, but it's too cumbersome so I gave up.
Would someone kindly please help me out on these issues? Thank you very much in advance.
Regards,
Tom Graciano (globmart)My pleasure!! :)

I have had problems with firefox crashing for the last three month. I have updated to the latest version with the crash protection. Now the flash player crashes about every 20 minutes or so. On your blog page you state that I will get the crash page when the plugin has been non-responsive for 45 seconds well with mine the games are going along just fine then wham crash page. Flash player was responding and you gave me crash report anyway. What's up???? Flash player is crashing within seconds not 45 seconds!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Your check plugin page always states that my plugins are UP TO DATE!!!!!
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== three months ago and getting worse with every upgrade you send!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!'''''"I have had problems with firefox crashing for the last three month."'''''
You need to investigate the cause of your crashes that started prior to the release of the first Firefox version that offered crash protection, version 3.6.4, released in mid to late June 2010; that is just over one month ago.
<u>'''The crash protection feature does not prevent a plugin from crashing, it prevents the whole Firefox browser from crashing because of a crashing plugin; only the tab with the crashing plugin crashes.'''</u>
For information about report plugin crashes see: http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Plugin+crash+reports
You need to post the crash Report IDs for the crashes occurring over the last 3 months. To do so, type '''about:crashes''' in the URL/location/address bar, then copy and paste the Report IDs (only) into your reply. See: http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Firefox+crashes#Getting_help_with_your_crash
In addition, please do the following. Type '''about:support''' in the URL/location/address bar, on the screen presented, click "Copy all to Clipboard" and paste that into your reply. -
Constant script errors and non-responsive
I receive constant script errors and non-responsive errors using Firefox, as do many of my friends. I am using Facebook and Mafia Wars by Zynga
Here is an example of one:
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: http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=508888121:7
I have tried the instructions on this page
http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Warning+Unresponsive+script?s=script+errors&as=s
however, I get an error message when I try to access Config and enter:
Navigation to the webpage was cancelled
Please help fix this or I'm going to have to use a different browser and I like Firefox better than the other options.
Thank you.Thank you Jeff for your response. However, that question is 1 year old and I no longer have that problem. I hope that your answer will help others.

New web page won't load
Example: Open a new tab, type google.com , press enter and nothing will happen
Internet work
Solution: Close Firefox, turn off private browsing
No issue with normal firefoxSee in your security software/firewall, if it isn't blocking cookies?
thank you -
I have tried all of the recommended troubleshooting methods but none of them seem to work. This issue began despite no change being made to Firefox, or my computer; it just spontaneously stopped responding after launch.
Not only does Firefox stop responding, but it also prevents any other programs from being launched, and make already launched programs extremely slow. Furthermore, once it stops responding, it becomes impossible to get rid of; the only way is to log off, or restart the computer entirely.Do a malware check with several malware scanning programs on the Windows computer.
Please scan with all programs because each program detects different malware.
All these programs have free versions.
Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before doing a scan.

Cannot print to printer from firefox-- stopped after an update.
After one of the periodic updates the print function stop working. The printer will cycle pper--but nothing prints. With a capture printer it will produce just blank page(s). The printer and all other print devices work fine from the desktop. I use a fax and some other pdf printers. All work from desktop--none from firefox. I have the lastest version--this machine takes automatic updates from firefox.
The problem still exist. I can print to all devices from IE can not print to any in Firefox. It will give printer selection and go through the motions but only produces blank paper--no image or print at all. This came about after an update that may be has long has a year ago--the last time I tried to print from the browser was that long ago and I stopped trying when it did not work.
I can: get a printer, select it and it will call the spooler and produce a blank sheet of paper per page.
On IE I can print to all devices, fax, printer and other software.
