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)

  • In updating FF, message says to restart to complete previous upgrade. I reboot, with same message. Attempted to uninstall. Same message, even in Safe Mode.

    I tried to update Firefox and repeatedly get this message: "Your computer must be restarted to complete a previous upgrade of Firefox. Do you want to reboot now? " If I click no, nothing happens. If I click yes, it reboots, and I get the same message all over again. I have tried to uninstall the program and get the same message, even in Safe Mode. I tried to start with a previous system configuration, but the computer would not give me any previous configuration dates. I am using XP, and I deleted Internet Explorer, so I cannot access the Internet on that computer. I have tried to install the update by downloading the upgrade on a different computer and transfer it on a flash drive, but I got the same results. If I go to Control Panel/Add or Remove Programs, it says I have Firefox Version 13.0.1. For approximately 6 months previous to this incident, I have been getting a message when I load Firefox, that says that it could not install an attempted update. If I clicked okay, at least it would still run the old version. Now it won't even do that.

    Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
    *Firefox 20.0.x: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
    Uninstall your current Firefox version, if possible, to cleanup the Windows registry and settings in security software.
    *Do NOT remove personal data when you uninstall your current Firefox version, because all profile folders will be removed and you will also lose your personal data like bookmarks and passwords from profiles of other Firefox versions.
    Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
    *It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.

  • I am trying to run Greasemonkey on Mozilla which is a mozilla add-on but my computer keeps running mozilla in safe-mode. I have uninstalled the add on and it still restarts in safe-mode.

    I have been running Greasemonkey for about 3 - 4 weeks. working fine. A few bugs but nothing substantial.
    However, today I downloaded a new user script. It too was working fine. I left my computer running and went out. When I came back I continued playing Kingdoms of Camelot.
    I had to refresh the page and then got an error message
    Power Tools ERROR!

    Please reinstall Power Tools here.
    If I check I notice that Mozilla is running in safe-mode.
    I uninstalled the Greasemonkey add-on but Mozilla is still running in safe-mode.
    I have restarted and rebooted. But it is still ion safe-mode.

  • As soon as I open Firefox it crashes, even in safe mode. I've tried all the options to fix the problem but to no avail. My crash report number is: 1326236186. I hope this helps!

    Firefox crashes as soon as I click on the icon. Even in safe mode. I've tried all options of resolving this problem but nothing is working. I really hate using Safari and Chrome. Please help!

    Scan your computer in safe mode for bots, malware, trojan's and viruses. Remove any Found and reboot. If Problem still exists, go to control panel, add/remove programs remove firefox. and then download and reinstall firefox. Remember to always close as many running programs like messangers and widgetts when installing any program. This should fix your problem. only other option is to do a system restore to when you were not having any problems, this works 90% of time.

    Office 2013 Home & Business Edition - None of the application (Word, Powerpoint, Excel or Outlook) is opening, not even in safe mode.. I tried to run the application in compatibility mode by right clicking the excel.exe and choosing the compatibility

    I'm so sorry that I forgot the Office programs even not open in safe mode and provide useless information in my last reply.
    The problem persists when we perform a Windows clean boot, right?
    Were the Office programs suddenly not working? Or it just can’t be open after you install it? Did you get any error message?
    If you haven’t try a repair of your Office installation, we can try it to check the result:

  • Screen freezes, even in safe mode and in BIOS

    I’m working on a friend’s laptop: Toshiba, Satellite M65 - S9092
    Original problem: The laptop started shutting down after few minutes of use. (Probable overheating)
    Took the laptop apart and clean it out. The heatsink, fan and outlets were really plugged up. Put it back together and did a clean re-install, Windows XP. Had few issues with USB drivers not being recognized but worked it out. Ran stress test for a whole day, no problem.
    Worked for few days and then USB wasn’t being recognized again and the screen started freezing up. Re-installed os again but it is still freezing up after few minutes, and stays that way till hard shut down.
    Screen freezes even in safe mode and in BIOS. (No blue screens)
    Switched existing RAM’s around (2 - 512MB), one stick, two sticks, etc…still freezing up. Wanted to upgrade the BIOS but can’t get pass the screen freezing. Not sure if the motherboard may be shot from previous overheating or need new RAM. Don’t want to spend money till I’m sure I’m replacing the right part.
    Any assistance is appreciated.

    Hi there... I have a satellite A70 - S256 an it was freezing up the same way. I downloaded an OS named UBUNTU fron the internet free of charge. once you download it an burn it to cd you can then boot from it after a couple of tries ( due to freezing). When it boots select your language immediately and choose the option to run memory tests (both installed and BIOS) and let it do its thing for as long as it takes. you should boot from UBUNTU on another working pc to get familiar with it if you are not allready so that you make your selection quickly before it freezes.  You may have to reboot a few times depending on freezing while the memory test is in progress and how much progress is made. This procedure fixed mines and I never had those problems again.    

  • HT1222 security update 2014-001 1.0 will not load. Not even in safe mode. Says to contact manufacturer?

    I have downloaded the latest Security Update from the Apps store, TWICe and neither time has it taken when installing. I then kept clicking and found a version specific to Mountain Lion, which I downloaded. That didn;t take on installation either, not even in Safe Mode. I have a VERY small amount of GB's per month (10 GB) and am increasingly frustrated with having tod ownload stuff that doesn't seem to work. AND the #1 hovering on the App symbol in the dock drives me nuts. Especially after downloading the same update now THREE TIMES?! Can anyon e help me to understand what's going on, or indeed how to make this thing work?

    Same here.
    Using AppStore twice: "unknown error"
    I thought it might be because the AppStore installation didn't have access to my system keychain for administrator privileges, so I downloading manually, opened the DMG and ran the installer. I got the prompt for my password and the installer went almost to the end, including the "optimizing" step, but still same result:
    The installation failed
    The Installer encountered an error that caused the installation to fail. Contact the software manufacturer for assistance.
    MacBook Pro 15"
    OS X 10.8.5
    2.2 GHz Intel Core i7
    8 GB 1333MHz DDR3
    So how does one contact the manufacturer?
    Since upgrading to Mountain Lion, I have noticed many more application crashes (on launch, on quit or at random times), spinning beachballs and use of the Force Quit hotkeys. Maybe Apple should pay more attention to its computer business instead of playing in the fashion biz.

  • Reset firefox button does not appear in Troubleshooting information. Not even in safe mode. Every time I shut down computer firefox loses my profile.

    As stated above, firefox loses my profile every time I restart the computor. I have created new profiles and changed the location and changed it back again to no avail. I now want to just restart firefox in default mode but the default button does not appear, not even in safe mode.

    Yes. Sorry, I should have mentioned that there have been several reboots involved during the troubleshooting.
    I am running Firefox in an admin level account in this case - so, there shouldn't be any permission issues there.
    I have tried shutting down both the desktop firewall software, and the anti-virus, and the problem still persists exactly as described. (Obviously, I disconnected the system when I did that [smile].)
    All other software on the system that I have tried, interacts with the file dialog just fine ... so, I don't think it is anything central like some corruption associated with the file dialog itself.
    As I said, it is most perplexing.

  • Firefox will not save my tabs or prompt asking if I want to save tabs. When it reopens it doesn't even bring up my home pages which have been properly saved. I have tried all the suggested fixes - the problem persists even in safe mode.

    Firefox does not prompt to save my tabs nor does it bring them back when it reopens. It does not even bring up my home page. I have tried the suggested fixes in the help section. This still happens in safe mode so I tried disabling plugins etc. - no change.

    Hi,
    Make sure there's no Outlook process in Task Manager prior to you open it.
    Then we can check if it can start properly in Clean Boot to determine whether background programs are interfering with Outlook:
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135
    If you still can't open Outlook, consider uninstalling the latest update from Control Panel -> Programs and Features -> View installed updates.

  • Text displays on sites like Google Spreadsheets, as well as all PDF documents is transparent, even in Safe mode.

    Recently I have noticed a very strange phenomenon in Firefox. I first noticed it in Google Spreadsheets; text does not display in the cells, but does if I bring a specific cell up for editing. I thought this limited to the new Google Spreadsheets, since the old Google Spreadsheets still function normally. It's just the new ones exhibiting this behavior.
    However, I quickly noticed that PDF files opened in Firefox exhibit the same behavior. The text is not white; it is totally transparent, like it's not being rendered at all.
    HOWEVER, if Firefox is not in focus, AND some text is selected, the text renders in the selection. Shown: http://imgur.com/bWWLvLr
    Windows cleartype does not seem to affect this, nor does it seem to be any of my addons; even in safe mode the problem persists.
    This problem is not present in Windows Internet Explorer, so it doesn't seem to be my system.
    I'd appreciate fixing this problem, as I make frequent use of Google docs.

    No, I have not. Firefox text & font options are default. Driver-wise, yes, this is up to date. I should note that in the case of Google Spreadsheets, the text appears briefly before disappearing.
    This would have led me to believe it was one of my addons, but the safe mode test dismissed that idea.

  • Firefox crashes constantly even in safe mode

    hello olesker, it was initially thought that this kind of crash as contained in your crash id was already fixed in firefox 11, but obviously it's still around - the bug got reopened and will be worked upon by mozilla developers on a high priority.

  • Firefox won't keep me logged into Facebook, even in Safe Mode?

    This problem has been bugging me, for God knows how long and I just can't get rid of it, unless I reset Firefox which is really not want I want to be doing just to get rid of this tiny, but irritating problem.
    Firefox never remembers to be signed in still to Facebook, even in Safe Mode without extensions.
    How can I get rid of this problem? If it isn't possible without resetting, I'd like a simple and concise tutorial on how to get all my extensions and settings back (however obviously not the one that keeps causing this problem). I've been using this Firefox profile for at least a good few years and it's all set up properly for my personal use. Thanks.

    firefox is able to keep different cookie settings on a per-site basis. those probably got cleared when you forgot the history about facebook. you can inspect the current permissions while you're on a site when you right-click it, go to ''view page info > permissions''. if you haven't changed that yourself intentionally, then i also don't really know what might have caused that - maybe an addon was interfering?

  • I changed Java settings and now Firefox crashes as it opens, even in safe mode; how can I fix this?

    I was trying to change settings to access the comments section of Slate.com. Right or wrong, I changed a Java setting from -1 to 2. The setting was in about:config and I believe it involved some sort of max. As I cannot open anything, I am not sure.
    When I made the change, firefox crashed immediately, Every time I have tried to reopen, even in safe mode, it immediately crashes again and will not reopen.

    Hi pternagy,
    Sorry you are having problems.
    For future reference. Those of us that mess directly with about:config soon learn how to recover from mistakes and what it is sensible to backup. Occasionally backing up your entire profile for instance can be useful and would have probably given you a quick solution of copying over the file from that backup.
    *[[Back up and restore information in Firefox profiles]]
    Ok on to the subject of trying to get Firefox back as it was:
    Find your profile and the file ''prefs.js'' and rename that. (The renamed file is a potentially useful backup.) Firefox is then forced to regenerate the file and will reset your preferences to the default. You can then re open and use Firefox. Next try to get it back to normal.
    Trying to manually edit the file ''prefs.js'' is normally a bad idea. However if it is a single pref change it may be possible to directly edit the prefs.js file (whilst Firefox is closed) to get everything back to how it was before . You have the renamed file to work with. Probably best to test all this out in a new additional profile then you only break additional test profiles not working profiles essential to Firefox.

  • Can't Boot after crash, even in safe mode!

    My Mac froze while idle with Lightroom open. It may have hung while remotely copying something off an external hard drive.
    But now it won't boot even in safe mode with all USB peripherals detached (including the hard drive that I might have been copying from).
    In and out of safe mode, I get the same behavior. After the sound and the grey apple appear, there is also a progress bar, which I don't recal seeing before. It takes about 30 seconds and the progress bar advances about 10-15% of the way and then just power's off.
    Is it the main disk drive?
    This is an iMac that is several years old with all of software update applied. I don't believe that any software updates were applied recently. I assume that the 10.6.3 update was installed.
    Is it the main disk drive?

    I had the same problem on my MacBOOk Pro and iMac on 14th April - i had to reformat the harddisk and could restore from my Timemachine backup to the last 10.6.2 state only. Both happended after updating to 10.6.3. But my laptop was sluggish. Based on feedback, I reformatted my hard disk and carried out a fressh installation from my snow leopard disk (10.6) and updated it to 10.6.3 using the 10.6.3v1.1 combo update about a week back. The machine was definitely faster - but yesterday, the same problem reoccurred - the machine froze and would not boot even in safe mode. Repairing the hard disk using the boot CD did not work either. Just now I reinstalled Snow leopard from the OSx CD - it has replaced the OS and left all apps and data intact. I have upgraded it to 10.6.2 only.
    My desktop iMac has been running without problems on 10.6.2 for the last 3 weeks. In my opinion, the problems of freezing (reported by others) and this one here are all related to boot sector corruption due to some problem in 10.6.3. There have been some reports suggesting that after 10.6.3, the CPUs are heating up more. The CPU temp was close to 70 deg C when on 10.6.3 - it maybe that some change after the update makes the processor overrun leading to this boot sector corruption - it generally happens slowly over days or weeks slowly accumulating to a break down point.
    My suggestion from my experience over the last one month, is stick to 10.6.2 - don't update to 10.6.3. I am hoping Apple will fix the problems in 10.6.3 update soon.
