Warning unresponsive script came up but won't let me stop the script or continue it or anything. help!

I'm on a MacBook air. I tried to close Firefox and it won't let me, I tried uninstalling it and won't let me, and I tried shutting down my computer and still won't let me do anything! Someone please help me! I already called Apple and they said they couldn't help me because Firefox isn't part of them. Also Firefox really needs to get a customer service number!

Hi OliviaMancia,
I understand that you have an installation of Firefox that is giving you the unresponsive script warning. I also understand that you filed this for Firefox for Android as well as Desktop?
None the less, please see [[Warning Unresponsive script - What it means and how to fix it]] for Desktop. As for the mobile version please try the add on Noscript or Adblock Plus to block some unwanted scripts.
Unfortunately Mozilla currently does not have the resources to maintain a Support line.

Mountain Lion can't install but won't let me quit the installer!

Mountain Lion can't install but won't let me quit the installer! How can I get back to the desktop?

I was having the same problem with my iMac. Couldn't left click with the wireless mouse, i tried all the steps above to no avail. I then tried to use another mouse, this time bluetooth and still had the same problems. I decided to see if my trackpad, which sits in the corner of my desk and never gets used, and then i realize that my cat is lying on top of the trackpad which was causing my problem the whole time.
I hope your fix was as simple as mine.

when trying to download apps, it's telling me to choose 3 security questions, but won't let me view the 3rd question, can anyone help plz ?

Reboot your iPad and then see if you can set the security questions.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

I just purchased an ipod shuffle (4th gen.) and I have been working trying to get it running for hours. I have followed all manuals and tutorial help. When I pull up my device manager, it shows an Ipod, but won't let me download the Usb driver.

I just purchased and IPod Shuffle (4th gen.) and can't get it running. I have gone through all of the help available. It shows up in my device manager, but needs a USB driver. It will find it online, but says an error has occurred and access is denied instead of installing. I bought this for a last minute trip with teenagers and I have spent hours on this. I am running Windows 7 and have tried disabling the firewall.
Help, please.

I have an iMac 24" EMC 2111 intel core 2 duo running OX lion and would like to set up a first gen Apple wireless keyboard. It has been discovered but won't let me type the code. What am I doing wrong?

I cant set up my older wireless keyboard with my iMac. The Apple site shows this keyboard model as needing a USB keyboard and mouse for initial set up, but I dont know how to do that. Blue tooth finds the keyboard, yet when I need to type the passcode, nothing happens. the keys wont function. What am I doing wrong? Thanks

Currently sharing a laptop, but won't let me download the Photoshop trial?

I share a laptop with my family and have my own account on the laptop. I wanted to download the Photoshop CC trial to see whether it's hard to use - although, when I did go to download the trial it wouldn't let me and would only let me update the software. It's fustrating because there's no way which I can even use the trial now because I'm guessing one of my family members had already downloaded a trial which now prevents me from downloading it. Is there anything I could do? or should I just carry on using another software like Gimp.

What operating system? Does your user account have Admin rights? If Windows, can you access the Control Panel > Programs and features and see if Photoshop is already installed? Can you ask the other users if they have used Photoshop?

Airport Card finds network and says connected but won't let me on internet!

My airport is on and finds a network, shows full strength of signal (like it's done for the past 8 months). But it has stopped letting me onto the internet. Safari and Mail hang and say they are not connected. If I go ahead and plug the ethernet cable in (from same network) it starts up fine. I live in a hotel and have done the same thing for 8 months, why today would it start doing this? Can anyone help. This is my first mac and I haven't the foggiest how to deal with this. I've turned airport off, restarted, turned it back on etc. It always finds a signal and says it's ready, but won't let me onto the internet. Thanks for any help you have.

Is the internet service also password protected? (As in, do you need a password for both the wireless and for the internet connection?) If so, then when you run the "assist me" option you should set up a PPP connection. That's my situation but I still have problems with it remembering my settings after rebooting or disconnecting...

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.

I have pretty much the same problem -- I run three different types of Browsers (Firefox 3.6; Internet Explorer 6; Chrome) and I've found that they are all affected by this ... thing.
I suspect that there is some kind of war going on, or a very aggressive move by Yahoo onto the Browsers and Search Engine scene. With Yahoo trying to be an 800 lb (Pound weight) Gorilla - again, Yawn!
I this because I've recently installed an AntiVirus application (which is a really good one -- but, unfortunately for the AntiVirus maker they did not look closely enough at who they were getting into bed with -- The 800 Pound Gorilla, Yahoo.
This AntiVirus's installer had a default setting to make Yahoo Search my default search engine -- it was a tiny notice about this and I happened to look otherwise Yahoo would have installed openly onto my computer (and I don't want them. I've been using computers since before the Internet was publicly and generally available and I know only too well Yahoo's Huge Ego and Navel gazing behaviour.
Basically, Mozilla are on Yahoo's side, because -- in the minds of the anarchists of Mozilla -- Google had no right to make a Browser.
This is Mozilla getting its own back on Google and Google Chrome. Mozilla are culpable in this assault on our own property -- our own computers. By two organizations who are bitter at Google. Actually, they are jealous of Google because Google succeeded on the quality and purity of Google products and their terrific business sense and strategy.
Now, Mozilla and Yahoo have got in cahoots (and chumps like the supplier of my AntiVirus have been sucked into this) to "Do something about Google" as Mozilla proclaimed they would do (should they get the chance) some few years ago.
Now, I have in my computer: Yahoo software and a Mozilla Browser which are both acting truly as Malware. Now that AntiVirus company which loaded Yahoo software onto my computer can understand why I wrote to them pointing all this out (and they, a multi-million or billion pound organization missed what tiny little me could see) that they have helped Malware get onto my system -- now their up-to-that-moment very well thought of AntiVirus and organization ... Well, their name is now mud (but I shall not say their name here. Let them suffer their stupidity and shame, that should be enough for them. They are going to have a time of it cleaning this little ol' mess up.)

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.

Firefox was fast when I first started using. Now, very slow to open and freezes often. Frequent message is "Warning-unresponsive script". Do I need to switch back to Internet Explorer?

Switched from Internet Explorer because seemed slow. Firefox was fast at first. Then upgraded to Firefox 4 and frequently have trouble opening. Sometimes page doesn't open, or is very slow. If I try to open again I will get Mozilla Firefox Unresponsive or a message that say "Warning-Unresponsive Script". Often have to restart and do the whole thing again. Don't really want to switch back to Internet Explorer, but getting tired of taking a half hour to get into my emails!

I am having the same problem, but not sure what's causing the slow down. Restarting in safe mode fixes the performance problem... but disabling all plug ins and extensions in normal mode (and restarting firefox) still shows the bug. Any ideas?

Whenever I try to open Mozilla a pop-up box appears stating: "Warning: Unresponsive script."

When I log onto Mozilla, a pop-up box appears stating the following:
Warning: Unresponsive script
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.
I have tried clicking onto both "stop script" and "continue," but either choice doesn't resolve the problem.

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

I keep getting "Warning Unresponsive Script" pop ups. All of them have to do with Chrome. Is there a fix?

I tried to research what Chrome was and I think it has to do with Google. The only thing I ever tried of Google is Google Earth and it didn't work right. I can't find anything by Google on my add/remove programs page. I deleted Firefox and Adobe Flash to reload and see if it helped. It was better without Adobe Flash, but I still got the same warnings. but not as often. When I downloaded Adobe Flash I got all kinds of "Warning Unresponsive Scrips" pop ups again!
If I click on Don't Ask Again and then Stop Script will it alwys do what I'm telling it to do or just not ask me to stop the script? Thanks for your help!!!

References to chrome are not referring to Google or their Chrome browser.
For details on causes of that error and what you can do see the [[Warning Unresponsive script]] article.
