Script Busy or Not Responding: Script: chrome://vidbar/content/downloader.js:98

Over the last few days (starting about 9/15/11), I keep getting the following error message:
"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://vidbar/content/downloader.js:98"
Sometimes clicking on continue or stop resolves the problem. At other times, Firefox stops responding at all.
Sometimes doing a restart ends the problem, sometimes a complete shutdown of Windows XP is needed. But even after a complete shutdown, the error seems to eventually recur.

I tracked my problem down to the "download YouTube video toolbar"
I took it out (uninstalled) and reloaded the browser no more problem. Except I don't have the downloader untill I find an extension or plugin that does not cause a Java Script conflict.
Like another forum user this only started with myself round about mid december after uninstalling and re installing Cometbird (my version of firefox) just to get rid of that problem.
I wonder how many people out there with this problem also have the download youtube video toolbar, version 8?

  • Keep getting this message and can't use the browser, "Script: chrome://vidbar/content/downloader.js:117"

    what more do you need to know? i get this message "Script: chrome://vidbar/content/downloader.js:117" and the browser is useless until i restart.

    Hi,
    I was having the exact same problem while browsing some sites (Google news, Google image search, Youtube).
    It was caused by the "Screenshot Pimp" extension. I uninstalled it and all is OK now.
    It looks like this extension packs a lot of "generic" code that is not used by the extension but could be used by other extensions from the same publisher (Mediapimp).
    So if you have this extension try removing it (not just disabling it). If you don't, look for other extensions like viddownloader, Youtube downloader, Video downloader, Mediapimp, etc. and remove them one by one until your browser is back to normal.

  • Firefox 4 hangs while downloading files, sometimes get an error saying Script: chrome://mozapps/content/downloads/download.xml:68 is busy or may have stopped responding, how can I disable this script?

    While downloading files Firefox 4 freezes (started with 3.5) and sometimes I get a window that says Script: chrome://mozapps/content/downloads/download.xml:68 has stopped responding or is busy and asks if I want to stop script or ignore. I have looked through about:config and don't see a way to disable the script and keep it disabled.

    That is a problem with an AVG extension (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions)

  • Loaded latest vewrsion, now it takes 20 to 30 seconds to connect. Also get Script: chrome://vidbar/content/db.js:312

    I loaded the latest version and it takes 20 or more seconds to connect to any site. I have win 7 and fast speed. This started when I did the upgrade. When I use explore it pops right up.
    I do not have chrome but I get this error message every time I use fire fox. "Script: chrome://vidbar/content/db.js:312" This just started happening the past week.

    Disable "AVG Safe" extension, it was installed by AVG Free , to actually uninstall the extension you would need to reinstall AVG Free without the Link Scanner component as described in Problematic extensions.

  • Script: chrome://mozapps/content/downloads/download.xml:68 stops responding during downloads

    I am stilling having an issue with Script: chrome://mozapps/content/downloads/download.xml:68 as I posted here https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/795085?as=aaq and am still having this problem 11 versions of firefox later. Is there any fix for this?

    The circumstances are downloading a file. My browser pretty much locks up any time I download a file be it a small jpeg or a large exe. I used to get a pop-up window alerting me that the script in my first post had stopped responding and gave me an option of ignoring or stopping it. Once stopped downloads would be fine until I restarted firefox and again got the notice (I don't always get the notice, but I do always get the lock-ups).
    It happened this time when I had stuff in my download history, it was about 25 files.
    I am going to restart and try downloading the file again that gave me the script stop with my download history clear and will report back here.
    [edit]No luck getting a lock up again just yet. I will do some more testing with a full download history and without it full.
    Is there any where that I can just disable this script all the time? I've looked for it in about:config and don't see it there.

  • Dimension Filter is not responding in Chrome after CSS code applied

    Hi Everyone,
    In SAP Design Studio 1.4 Sp02 I have Dimension Filter which is working good in both IE and Chrome. It is getting regular default font as header in filter and when we select any value for the filter, we need it with bigger font and bold, so I wrote CSS code as below and applied it to my dashboard.

  • Problem with "Shockwave Flash is busy or not responding" message

    Hello,
    I am getting the "Shockwave Flash is busy or not responding" message, visiting the site on which I am working on for one client. Site is http://www.puntacanajustsafari.com/
    I have installed one flash widget for weathercast and imediatelly after installing I have got the message "Shockwave Flash is busy or not responding"  - browser, buttons, scrolling - everything simply freeze! Few minutes just standing by, not responsive, and then eventually page start to scroll normally. Since then I changed widget position, made it to show on tour page only ( http://www.puntacanajustsafari.com/punta-cana-jeep-tour/ ) but after facing the same problems with flash thing I have removed it completely and installed one other widget and made separate page for weather information, that seems to work nicely (for now).
    Problem is that I am still geting "frozen" page when visiting home page and tour page, even after clearing the page cashe and removing widget. This is happening on both browsers that I use (firefo and IE) so I am partially sure that is not a browser problem. This is first time happening to me, if somebody can figure out what to do, I would appreciate it.

    Clear your browser's cache and cookies. I'm not seeing any issues in Firefox,  Chrome or IE

  • Since V.6, I've been getting this message when I download: Script: chrome://mozapps/content/downloads/downloads.js:1203 I have Mac 1.83GHz Core Duo 2GBram

    Beginning with Version 6 and now with Version 7, I've been getting a hang and this message when I download:
    Script: chrome://mozapps/content/downloads/downloads.js:1203
    Stop Script or continue?
    I have Mac 1.83GHz Core Duo 2GBram

    Hi,
    Please try couple of probable solutions as mentioned below:
    Solution 1:
    1. Close Elements.
    2. Launch the Photoshop Elements Welcome Screen and hold down Cmnd+ alt + shift as you click Editor.
    3. Continue to hold the keys until you see a message box asking if you want to delete Photoshop Elements settings file; click Yes. Elements will open with default preferences.
    Solution 2: In case any network printer is attached try to launch without network or printer uninstall or make different printer as default.
    Now launch PSE and check if it works.

  • Windows Media Player DLL is busy or not responding.

    When I attempt to open a web page with Windows Media Player embedded, Firefox locks up for about 30 seconds, then a message appears that says "Windows Media Player is busy or not responding."
    It offers to let me continue waiting, or stop the DLL.
    If I continue waiting, the page eventually loads, and Firefox wakes up.
    The embedded media player has a gray background and nasty-looking circa 1998 controls. (It used to have contemporary controls, resembling stand-alone media player.)
    Embedded media player still works correctly with Internet Explorer, and shows the correct controls and user interface.
    I've already set plugins.load_appdir_plugins to true - that wasn't it.
    This seems to be a recent issue - earlier versions of Firefox handled the embedded media player fine.
    I have npdsplay.dll version 3.0.2.629 and np-mswmp.dll 1.0.0.8 installed.
    Thanks.

    Hello JacksBack,
    Some plugins that are no longer maintained, like the Windows Media plugin, have their files installed in a place that Firefox no longer supports.
    Please refer to:

  • Script: chrome://mozapps/content/downloads/download.xml:68... Downloading files is really bad. Its like the whole process is out of sync. Rest of FF freezes up while downloads proceed.

    This script is the problem

    What is the status of this bug? This is killing me. I am about to pitch FireFox but really don't want to. This needs to get fixed. (I am running FF 5.0 on Mac OS X 10.6.7 but it was happening on FF 3.6.n and 4.0 as well)

    Because Executables are available only in Control Flow. Script Task is a control flow component whreas Script Component is a data flow component. It works on data buffer and rows and not on executables.

  • Script busy or not working

    FF or Google or Extreme Security cause? Upon opening FF, it crashes occasionally. I have version 3.6.23 with a Google FF search page and I use Zone Alarm Extreme Security's latest firewall, etc. When it does crash, I get a message as follows: A script on this page may be busy or it may have stopped working. You can stop the script now or you can continue to see if the script will complete. The script is chrome://zonealarm_extreme_security/content/ctoolbar.js:412

    Thanks, Cor-el. However in the process of updating my Zone Alarm Extreme Security, I'm into a whole other problem. When I tried to uninstall my current version of ZA in order to update to the newer version (ZA techie's advice), I couldn't recall my Administrator password in Program Control of my PC. His advice last night was to go into Program Control and delete ZA, then follow the steps as per 2 other links which he provided - that I installed to my Desktop.
    The ZA techie has sent me a HUGE list of steps I should take to overcome this but I see this morning that his preamble is "The ONLY way to remove a '''ZA''' password that is forgotten...is to remove the database files associated with True Vector, as follows".
    Before I go into all of this, I'm going to try one other ZA password that I do recall (while in Program Control) on my PC - can't see how this would work. ZA has stated that their firewall is compatible with FF7 so that issue is not a concern. I read your Mozilla link above and understand now that there is no urgency to update to FF7 but do you foresee any reason not to?

  • Skype for Business client not responding after audio/video/screen sharing

    Hi Everyone,
    I have a strange situation in my organisation. We have more than 200 clients and we are using Lync 2013. When Skype for Business (SFB) came out I tested it and found one problem - every time when I trying to make a audio or video call or what ever kind of
    file sharing or screen sharing then SFB client will hang and have error "SFB not responding". I can click restart the client and close button. So it´s not possible to call or share anything with that. Specially bad is that is eferyone else is calling
    to me it cause the same problem - client will die. So it´s very easy to kill my client :) At the beginning I thought that it´s my computer problem but then it turned out that allmost all clients have the same problem. Computers are different kind of Lenovo
    laptops. 
    What can cause the problem? I have installed and reinstalled the client. I have updated all the drivers. I have removed Personal Skype to make sure that it won´t cause the problem but problem is still there. Server itself is updated with latest CU and Skype
    for Business UI is enabled as default UI. 
    Br,
    Taavi

    Hi,
    Please try to uninstall the default Sound Card, VGA Device/Video Card, Graphic Card, and use the default system driver to test the issue. Because sometimes update driver to the latest version doesn't work but only use the default system.
    Please also make sure OS system update to the latest version.
