Unresponsive script and unable to restore past session

I dropped Google Chrome [too many "wait & kill" pages; stopped Explorer with too many frozen web pages. Firefox was fine until 2 days ago when "script may be busy or not responding" and "cannot restore previous session". The former happens frequently in Email and response to keyboard VERY slow. I have cleared browsing history and cookies and still experience this "unresponsive script" popup!
Que pasa aqui??

Firefox uses the "chrome://" protocol to access its own internal files and also access files from extensions, so that has nothing to do with Google Chrome.

You can open such a file via the location/address bar for inspection (in some cases you need to prefix with view-source:)
*chrome://browser/content/places/editBookmarkOverlay.js
You can check for problems with the <b>places.sqlite</b> database file in the Firefox profile folder.

  • Downloading 4.0 onto XP it takes a long conection process, with boxes on unresponsive script and a java scipt app saying type error and is all very annoying so what can I do I want the old firefox back a

    I downloaded Firefox 4.0 replacing an earlier Firefox version. I have XP on my computer. When I now click on the Firefox icon after a time a window saying Unresponsive script and underneath script chrome etc comes up. I then press stop script and another window comes up Java Script application and type error. Eventually I get on to the internet but it's all very frustrating. I wish I had ignored the request to download 4.0
    Please help

    I can assure you that the sympton is indeed identical. For as the computer got worse, eventually it refused to start up and made 3 beeps. It has done this before, but today more times than before (just like when it first had this problem). Where-ever you go on the internet, it will tell you that the 3 beeps suggest the RAM is at fault. So, the same 3 beeps, means the same problem, which is the RAM.
    With that in mind, I re-ask my question with the same reasoning and justification; am I still covered under warranty? (Reasoning/Justification: Considering the original problem was not entirely fixed, though something else was to make the MacBook Pro last a little longer before the reoccurance of this problem).

    Hi Inez2317, 
    Thank you for participating in the Apple Support Communities. 
    It sounds like you see a "No SIM" message on your iPad. You can find some troubleshooting steps that can help at this link:

  • Why do I always get a message saying unresponsive script and I often get a message that Firefox is unresponsive

    I get a message quite frequently, like every time I'm on the computer, that says Warning-unresponsive script and I can click continue if I want. Also Firefox is unresponsive quite often. A quick visit on the computer turns into an hour long event.

    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).

  • Second Update - I'm unable to restore previous session as I do not have the option on homepae or history menu

    Closed as duplicate. Please continue with the original question [/questions/992628] ~J99
    Dear Sir/Madam,
    I do hope you are able to assist me - I lodged a query earlier on today and got a response (I've put it below) really quickly and was much appreciated; however it didn't address my query (it seemed to just cover what I had already found on the website and not that I don't have the "Restore" buttons on either my Firefox homepage or on the pull down menu.
    If you could let me know how to restore a previous session without either the "Restore" button on the homepage or the pull down Firefox menu, it would be appreciated (Also, I have not changed my settings)
    My initial query & reply:
    I hope you may be able to assist me - my computer turned off while I was in Firefox and in the past this has been no problem as I always got the page giving me the option to recover my previous open pages. Today however it opened on the Firefox home page. I have tried to recover pages as per help instructions on the Mozilla pages, but on the Firefox home page I don't have the recover previous session button, and when I go to history on the Firefox pull down menu the "Restore previous sessions, Recently Closed Tabs, Recently Closed Options" selections have been disabled.
    Could you please let me know how I can recover my previous session?
    Thanks and regards, Graeme

    You can check browser.sessionstore.* prefs including browser.sessionstore.resume_from_crash on the about:config page and reset browser.sessionstore prefs that are user set (bold) via the right-click context menu to the default value to make sure that Session Restore is enabled and working properly.

  • Since converting to Firefox 3.6.8, I'm getting messages about "unresponsive scripts" and multiple occurences of "firefox.exe" in task manager which brings machine to crawl. What gives? An, no, I don't have the Poison Ivy trojan.

    Operating system: Windows XP Home Edition
    2.4 GHz clock on Pentium (circa 2001)
    The error message string for unresponsive script has "Chrome" mentioned in the path, and seems to have mention of "js" (Java Script???). Plug-in list shown below, (extracted from my machine?) seems right. Some I don't regularly use such as QuickTime, and maybe even Shockwave. I do make use of PDF plugin, however. I could purge Picasa if necessary, but can't continue the way I am.

  • My iPhone says it needs to be restored, but on connecting to iTunes i get unknown error, and unable to restore: any tips?

    On 2 occasions my iphone has come up with the message that it needs to be restored to factory settings, but on trying to do this, itunes displays the message that it is unable to restore phone due to unknown error.  Any tips?

    Unless you have a jailbroken phone that has altered the baseband, that usually a hardware failure, in which case you'll have to take it to the Apple store for evaluation.

  • NAND script and won't load past apple screen

    My I phone 5 has crashed won't load past apple screen and has a list of NAND scripts can anyone help or had this happen

    Standard troubleshooting...
    1. Remove apps from the Recently Used (multi-tasking) list...
    - From any Home Screen, double tap the home button to bring up the Recents List
    - Swipe up on the app preview card to remove it from the list
    - Press the home button when done.
    2. Restart by pressing the sleep/lock button until you see the slider.  Slide to power off.  Restart by pressing the sleep/lock button until you see the Apple logo.
    3. Reset by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.
    4. Restore with your backup.
    5. Restore as new, i.e. without your backup. See how it runs with nothing synced to it.    You may need to try DFU mode (Google for it).
    6. If still a problem, it's likely a hardware issue.

  • IPod Touch 5th Gen stuck in recovery mode loop and unable to restore

    Hello,
    I attempted to download and update my iPod to IOS 8 wirelessly on the release date Sept. 17.  After a few hours of downloading, I plugged my iPod into its charger to allow for the installation to complete.  I went out for a few hours that evening and returned to find my iPod touch with the recovery mode image (cord hooking up to iTunes).  At first i tried to kick it out of recovery mode by using some 3rd party applications.  Every time that happened, it would reset my iPod only to return to the previous image (cord hooking up to iTunes).  After this, I gave up trying to just kick it out of recovery mode and just restore it using iTunes.  For the last 3 days, I have continuously  attempted to restore my iPod but i am never able to successfully download the software.  I have received multiple errors regarding "failure to connect to update serves" or "session has timed out".  Most of the time,I ca't even get to the Terms and Agreements popup.  The window simply says "attempting to connect to update server."  In the extremely rare case that I get passed the terms and agreements pop up and begin the download,  the approximate wait time always exceeds 80 hours, and then an error is detected shortly after stating the  "failure to connect to update serves" and "session has timed out" errors.
    I would simply like to be able to restore my device and make it usable so it is not a metal and glass "brick".  Any help in this matter is much appreciated. Thanks.

    Try:                                               
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on           
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try another cable       
    - Try on another computer                                                       
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Iphone crash downloading iOS 6 and unable to restore using iTunes  due to error 3253

    I'm from New Zealand and woke up this morning to find the iOS 6 was available. So after an hour of downloading onto my iPhone 3GS, it wiped my phone, sent it into restore mode. I connected to iTunes - have been trying for almost 8 hours!!!!!!!! and it is unable to download iOS6 due to error 3252, connection resetting and error 23.
    have done everything, all firewalls and anti-virus are switched off, upgraded to latest version of iTunes, turned off computer, re set the internet a million times. Won't downald on anyone eses computer in this house, and friends using other internet have the same problem.
    My iPhone is now off and will not turn on! What the **** is going on Apple??? I spend a fortune on these products and these latest updates ahve been nothing but trouble!
    Please can anyone help, im getting really p@#$@d off!!!!!!!

    I had this problem at first initially, and tried it 4 or 5 times.  Once I made sure that no other unnecessary software was running, the restore worked successfully.  However, it sounds like you've probably tried that.  Good Luck.

  • IPhone 4 (iOS 6) text messages disappeared and unable to restore from itunes. There's more...

    I decided against upgrading to iOS7 on my iPhone 4, however I did download some of the latest updates for my apps (which I assume were iOS 7 updates). The next day, all my text messages disappeared.
    I tried to restore my phone through iTunes, but it refused to sync. And then it refused to restore completely. I thought I might need an upgrade on iTunes to allow it to talk to my phone. However, iTunes refuses to believe there are any new versions available ( I haven't updated it since early 2013, so I'm sure there's been updates).
    I have since been unable to back up my phone and now I'm afraid of:
    1. Losing all the new text messages and data I've since accumulated in the last few months and been unable to back up.
    2. Losing the old text messages and data stored through iTunes on my mac.
    Any advice would be appreciated. How can I sync everything back up? Or at least make sure my old data is saved somewhere without risk of erasing and then somehow get my phone to sync with itunes again.
    I suspect that the app updates may have brought this on.
    Looking forward to your advice!

  • I updated AVG, and now Firefox's Restore Previous Session is not working properly. I've restarted my computer a few times, and still no restore previous session. I have the button, but it looks different and does not open up the previous session. Help!

    I updated AVG and after that the restore session button for Firefox has not worked. Each time I close and that option becomes available, I am able to click, but it does nothing but blink. Also, it appears different from before.

    Had this trouble myself, just did some research and solved it!
    Go to the '''Help''' menu, go to "'''Troubleshooting Information'''"
    On the new window, click "'''Open Containing folder'''" next to ''Profile Directory'' (This opens the folder on your PC where Mozilla stores some settings, like a tab history)
    In the new Windows Explorer window, Find the file "'''chromeappsstore.sqlite'''"
    You'll want to close Firefox and then '''delete''' that file (don't worry, Firefox will create a new one, and you won't even lose the open tabs)
    Start Firefox again and the button should work!
    (For completeness's sake, the profile folder for windows7 is: C:\Users\Tiberion\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\c6xu23fh.default\
    where you replace Tiberion with your own username, and the random characters in the final folder will be different.)
