Unresponsive script routine crashes FF 3.6.8

In the past few days I've been getting these unresponsive script errors. When the message pops up it freezes/crashes FF. Any response to the script dialog box is not actionable.
Before you tell me to this or that here is what I have done ..
uninstall/reinstall FF
run in safe mode
uninstall/reinstall Flash
uninstalled problem plug ins such as Google toolbar
I increased the script time setting to 20, from 10
None of this makes any difference. I still get unresponsive script errors and every time they freeze and crash FF.
My machine is particularly "clean" and also during these problems I have scandisked and defragged.
There are two problems at work here .. first there is something that is making the scripts run slower in this version. Second there is a bug in the unresponsive script routine that freezes/crashes FF.
BTW, every time this occurs my memory use spikes to over a gig. I have submitted crash reports, etc. This is beyond frustrating, and a new phenomenon to me, a loooong time user of FF.

Why is firefox crashing or closing on its own, I get plug-in crashes and unresponsive script warnings?

Firefox is closing on its own or crashing for no reason. I've put in at least 4 crash reports a day. I'm also getting plug-in crashes and have sent those reports in. Also, I'm getting lots of unresponsive script warning messages. At first I thought it was Facebook but it is now doing it on GMail so is it Firefox?

I am not sure I did this right. This is what I did: right-mouse clicked on the desktop, whent to properties, went to display properties, went to settings, clicked on advanced tab, and then clicked on troubleshooting tab. There I drug the hardware acceleration slider to the left to disable it, clicked ok twice as directed, restarted the computer and then I couldn't get firefox to open at all, but I went to internet explorer and got on you tube and tried to watch a video, but it crashed again.
So I don't think that worked. I couldn't figure out how to disable hardware acceleration in the Flash plugin, but did it on the desktop instead. Are there different steps I need to take to accomplish this?
Thank you!

Error message: "Warning: unresponsive script". Afterward, the system freezes and will then crash. Crash reports have been submitted many, many times without response. I have tried the fore-mentioned solutions with either no results or very bad results which I filed a report but did not receive an answer. The application to block scripts actually worsened the problem and I could not correct the situation for a while (no response from Firefox, at all). I have also been through this procedure without any one contacting me, AT ALL.
== URL of affected sites ==
http://http://www.facebook.com (always) and www.YouTube.com (sometimes)

There does appear to be any support whatsoever from mighty "non caring" FIREFOX & people are getting fed up. We may as well try another system, if they can't be bothered to provide any support for their system, we can't be bothered to use their system.

How to solve firefox crashing and continuous "unresponsive script" messages?

I've had this issue for a couple days now. When in firefox and having multiple tabs open, the tab that I am on will freeze and an "unresponsive script" message will come up. When I only have one tab open, the browser will shut down completely without any message. I have already tried disabling all of my plugins, allowing the script to run longer, restarting firefox, and even uninstalling and reinstalling firefox. None of these seem to work for me. Does this mean I have a virus? Are there any other things I can try or should I have this looked at?

Try this for your mac computer:
Please do the following to give us crash IDs that will help us understand more about the crash.
#'''(OS X 10.6 or previous)''' Click the '''Finder''' icon in the dock. Your home folder will be selected. In the right side of the window, click the Library folder to open it. Then open the "Application Support" folder, the "Firefox" folder, the "Crash Reports" folder and finally the "submitted" folder.<br>'''(OS X 10.7 or above)''' Click the '''Finder''' icon in the dock. On the menu bar, click the '''Go''' menu, hold down the '''option''' or '''alt''' key and select '''Library'''. A window will open containing your Library folder. Then open the "Application Support" folder, the "Firefox" folder, the "Crash Reports" folder and finally the "submitted" folder.
#Open the 5 most recent files with a text editor and copy the IDs.
#Paste each ID with '''bp-''' into the reply window on the forums.
Thanks in advance!

Firefox 16.0.1 Crashes, Not Responding with Unresponsive Script Warnings and Adobe Flash Plugin Crashes

Hello,
I'm experiencing some issues with Firefox 16.0.1 which I had also experienced with Firefox 15.0.1.
On numerous occasions Firefox has crashed while attempting to access a website link contained in an AOL e-mail message.
Unrelated to that issue, Firefox has hung up frequently with associated unresponsive script warnings and occasionally with the Adobe Flash Plugin crashing. Some of the unresponsive script warnings are:

I've reset Firefox and disabled all the plugins and yet these problems persist.
What are those script warnings actually telling me and are there any recommendations on how to resolve these issues?
Thank you,
Mike

You can check for problems caused by recent Flash updates and try these:
*disable a possible RealPlayer Browser Record Plugin extension for Firefox and update the RealPlayer if installed
*disable protected mode in Flash 11.3 and later
*disable hardware acceleration in the Flash plugin

Flashplayer 16 causes unresponsive script , mozalloc plugin container crashes

Salute all ,
I have latest Firefox v.35
since I downloaded latest version of flashplayer 16.0.0257 I have been experiencing unresponsive scripts on web pages with flash animation.

When i disable flashplayer everything runs fine .
I have tried so far :
-uninstall /reinstall flashplayer through official Adobe uninstaller
-disabled all extensions & plugins and run in safe mode
-uninstall /reinstall firefox clearing also all %appdata%
-clear all prefetch /registry/etc through CCleaner & SlimComputer& WiseRegistryCleaner
-Reset Firefox Profile
-disabled hardware acceleration in firefox
Nothing works .
Would like some help please :/

Solved .
Seems my NVidia stable 314.22 drivers needed a firm update to 349.09 version .
Flashplayer seems to work now
( although in Chrome it worked flawlessly without having to update nvidia drivers, thats what threw me off the trail ) .
Just saying for others that have the same problem .

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
== Tonight. I can't say what site I was on, though I first noticed it on DeviantArt and thought it was their new layout producing problems. ==
== User Agent ==
Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10_5_8; en-us) AppleWebKit/531.22.7 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/4.0.5 Safari/531.22.7

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~

Since upgrading to 3.6.3, I have 3 problems: frequent crashes, frequent "unresponsive script" messages, and frequent pop-ups, even with pop-up blocker turned on.

Crashes are pretty random - can't link them to any particular site or action. The unresponsive script messages mostly come from e-mail sites (yahoo, gmail). Pop-ups are frequent and annoying, and may be causing some of the crashes.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== I upgraded to version 3.6.3

I have the same problem and it's really frustating - although my main browser is Google Chrome, I use Firefox for all the RSS feeds that I subscribe to and sites that only have Firefox plug-ins. Will Mozilla FIrefox get this fixed with a newer version soon?

Crashing and unresponsive script errors with FF 4 and Yahoo Mail.

When using the new beta version of Yahoo mail I keep getting unresponsive script errors and sometimes it just crashes FF and when I force quit I'm told FF is "not responding".
This only happens with Yahoo mail and only since I've upgraded to FF 4.

Yahoo have posted a solution to this problem on their site.
Hopefully this works.

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 />
See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]

Unresponsive scripts still, even in safe mode!

Hello,
I have been having the Unresponsive Script warnings for what is probably going on a year or so now, and it's getting increasingly difficult to use my computer. I'm not hugely technical with my computer, but I do know some, and have fixed many many problems before, even fixing my computer from a devestating malware virus a couple years ago myself, using only information from the internet.
Which is why I find it so infuriating that I cannot find ANY answer to help me with this problem.
Here is some of what I get in a day or so:

Most of the time it's Facebook that's giving me a problem, but it does it on other websites too. Without going into tons and tons of detail, I have basically tried EVERYTHING I can do on my own. I have searched this problem for months and months, and always come back with nothing helpful.
I tried FF safemode in the past day or two, and it occurs there as well. I have tried everything from changing dom.max_script_run_time default, I've tried Greasemonkey, I've disabled, enabled, and disabled every script I had, I've reset FF, I've turned off the hardware accelerator, etc, etc, etc. I can't even tell you everything else that I've done because it's been such an ongoing problem. I am to the point now, that I am not going on the computer for days (even though I have things to do) because I don't want to be on it for 6 hours at a time. I want to check facebook every day for about 30 minutes, to read my mail, and chat with my friends, but it turns out to be a lesson in frustration, and I've learned to play classical music when on my computer because it calms me down. Waiting 3 hours just to check your facebook is increadibly inconvenient; something that I did at the library in 10 minutes. It doesn't just happen on FB, but that's the MAIN culprit. My Shockwave Flash also crashes ALL the time, and I've updated it several times. I've tried everything, and I just can't win. If this continues, I'm giving up on FF. I love FF. I want to use it. It used to be the best thing ever. But now, I can't do it anymore.. my patience is so stretched, that I am just done.
I am OBVIOUSLY not the only one with this problem, as there seems to be a million questions on the internet about this problem, and NOBODY can give a straight answer.
WHY?? FF you can do better than this! You MUST solve this problem! It's affecting so many people out there!
Sincerely, M
Ps.. I have a PC, Windows XPPro, FF22.0, and I had YesScript 1.9, Personas Plus 1.7,2.1, and Status-4-Evar 2013.02.16.23 (But all have been removed with the FF Reset) and none of them were the culprit because I disabled them a while ago, and still had the problem day after day.
Thank you for your help :)

NONE of the above has worked for me. Currently running FF 23 and Windows 7. What I'm experiencing strictly happens with the Facebook news feed, and may be completely independent of Firefox as others have reported this problem in other browsers...(https://www.facebook.com/help/community/question/?id=10151551364085966&referer=answered_notification&ref=notif&notif_t=answers_answered)

Warning Unresponsive script on Resume from Hibernation Kubuntu 10.04

Frequently I put my computer into hibernation so I can view webpages without an internet connection. I will put my computer into hibernation, then disconnect it and sometime later resume the computer. What I find is that every time I resume the computer certian webpages that I have open cause the "Warning Unresponsive script" to pop up, eventually causing firefox to hang for a little while or crash. Is there no way to avoid this, or is there any way to auto stop scripts once the internet connection has been lost for a certian amount of time?

Ok title changed.
As i said, that error occurred while using comprezzion (lzf, but it happened with lzo too).
But i said that similar problem on resume occurred without them too, i must only remember to hibernate (tonight i'll do it, hope to not forget it), then i'll put here new log files
Sorry for the inaccuracy.
EDIT:seems to be a well known problem with compression (http://lists.tuxonice.net/pipermail/tux … 07185.html) ...so i have to investigate what was the problem when i did not use compression...i'll post my log as soon as i can.

Work around technique for imcompatibility issues between Firefox 6.0 and Avast Free Antivirus 6.0, esp "Unresponsive Scripts."

I am using Firefox 6.0, Avast Free Anti-Virus 6.0 and Windows XP.
I am experiencing slow/freezing web browsing after a recent upgrade to Firefox 6.0. Not all but on most occasions, I also get a warning from Avast of an "unresponsive script." I suspect there is a compatibility issue between these versions of Firefox and Avast--are they any short and/or long term solutions to this. I suppose I can disable the Script Blocker on Avast but that would defeat the purpose of having an anti-virus program.
Many thanks in advance.

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.
