When using Firefox I receive a "Warning:Unresponsive script" error. How do I fix this?

I recently updated to Mac OSX 10.6.6. I use Firefox 3.6.15.
This script happens every time I try to update my que. I called Netflix, and they had me try Safari,and the problem did not happen with Safari.
"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: file:///Users/aimh441/Library/Application%20Support/Firefox/Profiles/0sb81q3g.default/extensions/%7Bb58ca710-f62c-4f38-a0e8-cc9b177463e5%7D/files/ui/scripts/lib/prototype.js:9

Do you see an extension that you have in that error, perhaps if you type '''about:support''' then use Find for '''b58ca710-f62c-4f38-a0e8-cc9b177463e5''' you might see an extension for that as it looks like a GUID number.
See this page for help, also lists several extensions

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.

Warning: Unresponsive script' message appears in 'do forever' loop.

This error is in a 'do forever' loop after Tools>add ons. Then error message Firefox not responding.
Can't stop 'Warning: Unresponsive script' message with W7 Task Manager. Requires Reboot.

'''Try the Firefox Safe Mode''' to see how it works there. The Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.''
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* You can open the Firefox 4.0+ Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or use the Help menu item and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
''Don't select anything right now, just use "'Start in Safe Mode"''
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shift key) to open it again.''
'''''If it is good in the Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one.

I keep getting "Warning: Unresponsive script..." especially when trying to close hotmail or internet

When I try to close hotmail or Firefox (and other internet sites) a box pops up after a few moments of inactivity.
"Warning: Unresponsive script A script on this page may be busy or may have stopped responding." I'm given the choice to stop the script or continue. I choose stop and then the programs close.
It is irritating because of the the delay before the warning pops up. Plus now there is an extra step - I can't just click and close anymore.
I have Windows 2000

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.

Unresponsive script error without changing script?

All of a sudden all of my websites that run the same slideshow script (Flash/XML, with image links) now get this error when clicking on one of the slideshow images to go to a specified page:
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.
Script: http://accessretirement.com/new/:16
(all slideshow instances are showing the same :16 at the end of the URL, this is just one example)
Clicking on the link DOES take you to the new page about the same time the error window pops up.
This is happening on an iMac running 10.8.4 and a laptop running Windows 7 Home Premium.
This error does not happen in Safari. It works just like it's supposed to.
Really appreciate any thoughts, regular IT guy is out and I am not a developer. :-)

I tried it without the :16 on Windows 7 (the :16 led to a page not found error).
I find there is a long delay after clicking the Flash image before the next page loads, but no error message. I have made some modifications to my Flash configuration, so that could explain part of the difference on Windows 7, not sure about Mac.
(1) Disabled hardware graphics acceleration in Firefox and in Flash
(A) In Firefox, un-checked the box here and restart:
orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced > General > "Use hardware acceleration when available"
(B) In Flash, used this support article from Adobe: http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/video-playback-issues.html#main_Solve_video_playback_issues
(2) Disabled protected mode (Windows Vista/7/8)
Used this support article from Adobe under the heading "Last Resort": [http://forums.adobe.com/message/4468493#TemporaryWorkaround Adobe Forums: How do I troubleshoot Flash Player's protected mode for Firefox?]

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!!!

I can't get Firefox to open on my computer. I've been using it for a year and a half with no problems until now. I keep getting the following "Unresponsive script" error message: Script: resource:///components/nsHandlerService.js:432 How do I fix this?

Firefox often slow, not responding and showing unresponsive script errors.

In the last few weeks, firefox has often gone unresponsive, usually shown as 'not responding.' This lasts anywhere from a few seconds to several minutes (possibly longer, but by that amount of time I loose patience and 'end task' in task manager.) This is usually followed by an 'unresponsive script' error. Which script it is varies. I've been responding by clicking 'stop script,' which usually fixes the problem temporarily.
The problem seems to occur mostly randomly, but will predictably always occur on site with videos like youtube. Here it is also worse, taking much longer to resolve if it does at all. I've got flashblock active, and sometimes the error will occur before I get a chance to activate the video and sometimes after, but will always occur. Also, on this sort of site, the 'unresponsive script' error will also go unresponsive most of the time, which I've not seen anywhere else, meaning that the only solution, after a while is to end the process in task manager. I've at times attempted to play the same video for half an hour with no success.
As I've therefore spent a fair bit of time in task manager, I've noticed that I end up with many processes running for FlashPlayerPlugin_15_0_0_152.exe*32 (Description: Adobe Flash Player 15.0 r0.) They build up the more I use firefox, but go away when I restart my computer. I've gotten up to at least 50 at one point. Most use 128 or 124 K of memory, but about 1 in 7 uses between 1-5000 K. I don't know if this is linked to the above issues, but I've only noticed it since it started.
I've tried resetting firefox and it changed none of the above.
If it helps, I used Windows 7. Feel free to ask for any more details about my system and I will do my best to answer, though I'm not an expert in computers. Thank you very much in advance for your help.

Thanks for the advice. What solved it was disabling all addons and then restarting the computer. I've since reenabled Adblock (2.6.4) and Flashblock (1.5.17) without causing the problem to reemerge, leaving Troubleshooter (1.1a) as my only previously enabled addon I've not reenabled. I am no longer experiencing the issue.
Regarding updating to version 32, I tried this, but the official site told me I already had the most up to date version of firefox for some reason. Normally, it updates automatically. However, as my issue has been solved I don't consider this a problem.
Thank you very much for your advice.

Unresponsive Script errors popups in Firefox 14.01

Since upgrading from Firefox 13.01 to 14.01, Firefox is taking a long time to launch and I am receiving multiple unresonsive script error popups when it tries to launch. I have the same extensions installed that I had in 13.01 and all are compatible with 14.01. Again this issue ONLY started when upgrading to 14.01. I have tried to determine what extension is the problem and turn it off, however when I launch Firefox again, another unresonsive script error popup occurs with a different extension. I'll remove that one and it popups again about a another different one. This is crazy! I have even tried a complete clean install, with no luck. What is the problem?

I use Roboform and the first unresponsive script error popup is about Roboform. Their tech support just emailed me about an hour ago and ask if I had Trusteer Rapport installed on my system (https://www.trusteer.com/product/trusteer-rapport) and I said yes. They instructed me to Stop Rapport, which is a setting Rapport has, and relaunch Firefox 14.01 and see if the unresponsive script error popup returns and it did not! They then told me to do a complete uninstall (all user settings) and re-download Trusteer Rapport from their website and install again and see if the unresponsive script error popup returns. They said it should not. However after doing a clean reinstall of Trusteer Rapport, however the popups came back :(
I emailed Trusteer about this issue and I am waiting for a response. Roboform tech support responded after I told them it did not work by saying only that they are aware of the issue with Trusteer Rapport with nothing more said in their email.
I only know that Trusteer Rapport is a MUST HAVE security software and I have had it for years and it has never caused problems and that the version of Roboform I have is current and was the SAME version that was installed when using Firefox 13.01 and Roboform did not cause these popups in 13.01
So, this evening, I did another clean uninstall of Trusteer Rapport AND a clean uninstall of Roboform and relaunched Firefox 14.01 and the only unresponsive script error popups where from another add-on extension called WorldIP. No other popups occurred.
With that being said, I can say that Firefox 14.01 is causing issues and this needs to be fixed asap.
Thoughts?

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.

Warning Unresponsive script

When I open Facebook look for feed a little and then I minimize the Firefox windows, Then go to do another task. When I reopen Firefox. It will freeze for a moment. And then this dialog will show
http://pasathaioum5network.net/file/Untitled.png

Sorry for my English wish you could understand me

Yup just caught this question.
