Nonresponsive script- chrome://xulcache/content/overlay.xul:48-pops up constantly. How do I fix this?

Windows xp sp3 - Just installed Firefox after getting a Trojan. Previously used IE7 and Chrome.Firefox has been very slow to respond loading pgs and switching tabs etc. The above message started popping up continually and have to press "stop script" several times to get box to close.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened

Do a malware check with a few malware scan programs.
You need to use all programs because each detects different malware.
Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of the database.

  • Script: chrome://jqs/content/overlay.js:22

    I keep getting this reoccurring message and sometimes experience a crash.
    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://jqs/content/overlay.js:22
    version3.6.8
    Windows XP

    jqs is the Java Quick Starter. If you disable it the issue should be resolved. For details of how to do that see http://www.java.com/en/download/help/quickstarter.xml
    Also check Firefox add-ons and disable the Java QuickStart add-on. In the menu select Tools, then Add-ons to open the add-ons manager. Go to the Extensions panel, click on the Java QuickStart add-on to select it, then click on the Disable button.

  • End script error message: Script:chrome//wrc/content/overlay.js:1149

    I get an unresponsive script error message asking me if I would like to end script now.
    Script:chrome//wrc/content/overlay.js:1149
    Firefox freezes and I have to end the program in task manager. Please help!

    The name "wrc" mentioned in the chrome URL is usually a hint to which extension is causing such an issue.<br />
    You didn't list the extensions, so madperson wasn't able to give more precise instructions.
    If it does work in Firefox Safe-mode then disable all extensions (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one extension at a time until the problem reappears.
    Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

    I just downloaded Google Chrome and use both Google Chrome and Firefox as my browsers. However, whenever I click on an email link, it opens up Chrome and I want it to open Firefox. How do I fix this?

    Go into FF Preferences & set it to be your default browser.  This way when you click on an email link in Chrome, FF will open.

  • White screen in the Adove Content Viewer (Android) when playing OAM files, how do I fix this?

    Everything was working yesterday, not anymore.
    Folio v31
    Article PDF
    OAM Overlay Settings
    Auto Play - No Delay
    User Interaction
    I made an oam animation for an "advertisement" article within the folio. Just simply imported the OAM file, set the overlay settings, and preview. Perfect, everything was fine.
    Now a white screen appears. I can see the poster image when the page first loads, and then it goes blank. I read about similar white screen issues with OAM's, reading that this was a problem with PDF articles, so I went: "Ok, let me change it to PNG."
    Nope, didn't work.
    I tried JPG, that didn't work either. I tried PDF/PNG/JPG with delays from 0.125s - 0.5s, I tried placing an image on top of the OAM file, & I changed the user interactions, transparant background, etc.
    Still white light.
    So I thought, maybe the OAM file is f'd up, let me go make another OAM file with two png files that just moves their position. I tried it with & without a transparent poster image. Still a bright light.
    It works in the Adobe Content Viewer on the desktop (as choppy as it is), but not on my device (Nexus 7).
    Everything worked yesterday, I don't know if there was an update or something? Am I missing something?
    I cannot convey to you how long i've been troubleshooting this issue because I need animations for my projects. I don't like posting on the forum unless I exhausted every source I could find.

    You know what's odd?
    Yesterday I said it wasn't working and gave up on it. I read this message and I know I had all my animations set to 0.125 - thanks to some past forum questions you've answered- to which I double checked within InDesign.
    Anyway, I went to check the saved folio preview - the one that didn't work- and now it works.
    I didn't' change anything from when I gave up on it yesterday.
    I guess this is answered, although I do not know what happened to the same folio that didn't work yesterday, to work today.

  • If my computer has been open for a short while, when I open firefox, it freezes and shows this script-problem: chrome://ylayers/content/overlay.js:280

    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://ylayers/content/overlay.js:280
    The only way to move on is to access the jobmenu and close it manually, then restart the computer. If I stop using the web for a while, the problem reoccurs.
    I have windows vista home premium on dell and firefox 14.0.1.0

    This issue can be caused by an extension (ylayers) that isn't working properly.
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
    *Do not click the Reset button on the Safe mode start window or otherwise make changes.

    Tried uninstalling Chrome, uninstalled xfinity toolbar, reinstalled toolbar & restarted computer. Didn't help the problem.

    chrome://xfin_portal/content/toolbar.xul:1 has nothing to so with the Google Chrome web browser, that message is about Firefox and its' addons. It relates to the Mozilla XUL markup language used for the user interface in Firefox.

  • Nonresponsive script Script: chrome://tavgp/content/libs/include.js:595

    Several months ago I updated Firefox (not sure now which version) and since then it is much slower loading and I get this message before it will load Script: chrome://tavgp/content/libs/include.js:595 If I 'stop script' it continues and eventually loads. I prefer Firefox, but Safari loads immediately and so does Internet Explorer.

    tavgp is definitely AVG related (AVG with a prefix and suffix). AVG installed the toolbar. This has been an ongoing problem even on Firefox 2, but it hit the most people once Firefox 3 went into production.
    There isn't a problem with AVG Free in itself, just with the extension(s) it installs.
    There is more information in
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Problematic_extensions
    but the directions basically tell you to reinstall AVG Safe without the Link Scanner Component. As long as you keep it disabled you're okay.

  • My BetterPrivacy addon now Freezes firefox, causing a "Script: chrome//bp/content/bp.js:847" unresponsive notification. I'm still running Ff 3.6, and want to keep BetterPrivacy, but I have to disable it now. It worked just fine until recently.

    I have to click on "Stop unresponsive script" to get Firefox to load, and then have to disable BetterPrivacy in order to use Ff normally. I haven't changed Ff or BetterPrivacy lately, to the best of my knowledge, but I can't use the BP add-on any longer.
    Just in case, I also deleted my Chrome browser, which I had as a stand-by, but it didn't help. I still get "A script on this page is unresponsive: Script: chrome//bp/content/bp.js:847". Any ideas?
    I'm not certain which version of BP I had when this problem started, but today I tried adding the latest version, 1.49, but still had same trouble.
    Your "educated guess" is correct - Ff 3.616 and Vista.

    I turned off the accelrator months ago. That was the first thing I did. It helped some. The problem is getting progressively worse, so it seems like every upgrade in the past 3-4 months is causing the problem.

    I had this problem - it appeared to be due to having Firefox 4 with the Firefox Sync installed as an add-on. Firefox 4 has sync included so there is no need to have it as an add-on. I went to the add-on manager and removed Firefox Sync and now appears to be working correctly.

  • Why do I get a continued msg that a script is not completing. It seems to be slowing my Mac: "Script: chrome://forecastfox/content/observers.js:1

    A pop-up window keeps appearing with the message that a script is not completing correctly - " "Script: chrome://forecastfox/content/observers.js:1" I'm given the choice to a) let it continue in the hopes it will complete or b) cancel. No matter which choice I make, the little window persists up in the corner of my screen and then sometimes brings itself to the front again, so I get to make the choice all over again. Most annoying also because I can't close the little pop-up...it hides itself in the top left and appears as a small blank there. I have the distinct impression that it's making my Mac run slower... and I would love to get rid of it. It's not related to Firefox 5...it was there before with the previous version, too...and is one of the reasons I upgraded. I don't want Chrome, by the way...so it's also annoying to see its name in the offending script-name. I took a screen shot but can't figure out how to attach it to this description. It happens every time I open Firefox...not immediately but after a while.

    Disable or uninstall the ForecastFox extension.
