Warning: Unresponsive script Script resource://gre/modules/xpcomutils.jsm:198

When starting up Firefox get my users get Warning unresponsive script
A script on this page may be busy or or it may have stopped responding this is on the en-US/firefox/4.01/whatsnew
Script: resouce//gre/modules/XPCOMUtils.js

Such errors with internal Firefox files as the cause are usually caused by extensions that are misbehaving or (incompatible) extensions that are forced to load.
*resource:///modules/XPCOMUtils.jsm
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration 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.

  • What precise steps do I take to STOP this annoying 'unresponsive script' freezing of computer; error message: "resource://gre/modules/XPCOMUtils.jsm:329"

    When computer is first turned on, and after Firefox is launched, the screen freezes. It continues to remain unresponsive to any mouse clicks or keyboard actions. After 10 to 20 minutes error message pops up:
    Unresponsive script: resource://gre/modules/XPCOMUtils.jsm:329
    followed by 2 choices (buttons): wait for script to finish running or stop the script.
    This is an enormous waste of time and highly frustrating.
    If you answer this question or provide a solution, kindly do not use technical or vague terms like "check if there's a problem with the hardware accelerator or with add-on or extensions". That's too general and I can't follow up. It's a bit like saying "go cook a meal". Instead, I'd appreciate if you give precise instructions, steps 1, step 2, step 3 and so on. Thank you.
    THANK YOU VERY MUCH IF YOU PROVIDE A SOLUTION!!

  • What does this script do? resource://gre/modules/XPCOMUtils.jsm:271

    Firefox (5) hangs, & eventually I get an "Unresponsive script" warning.

  • Why does Thunderbird keep displaying Unresponsive Script resource://gre/modules/XPCOMUtils.jsm:323?

    Thunderbird keeps hanging and displaying "a script on the page may be busy..." with the above message. I thought that the latest update would fix the problem but it seems to have made it worse. My system is W7 64BitUltimate with SP1. It has 8GB of RAM.
    What could be the problem?

    Name: Thunderbird
    Version: 24.5.0
    User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:24.0) Gecko/20100101 Thunderbird/24.5.0

    Script errors are sometimes caused by anti-virus programs keeping the system "busy" by scanning mail folders. Do you have a product such as McAfee operating on the mail folders?

  • Bookmark restore problem: " 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: resource://gre/modules/PlacesUtils.jsm:1436"

    I'm trying to restore bookmarks from a .json file (as xmarks keeps duplicating and corrupting my list) and Firefox often works really slowly also. I know this as I ususally get a script message errors and option to continue or stop.. In this case with restoring bookmarks everytime I try to restore with my saved .json file I get an interruption, and the message " 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: resource://gre/modules/PlacesUtils.jsm:1436" i stop the script (if i continue the same warning comes up) and then get half of my bookmarks restored or similar only if that, and another message telling me FF is unable to process the bookmarks!? I think this unresponsive script is the one that randomly comes up when I'm working FF hard, and causes it to run slowly- or it is a very similar looking message. Any comments and ideas appreciated .
    Running on Macbook pro 2GHz Intel Core 2Duo, 2Gb 667 Mhz DDR2 OS 10.6.8

    One other thing....the same script error on Ubuntu Linux 11.10 on my old Dell. And it seems that the backup I thought I had made probably was saved incorrectly, again only half of the bookmarks I had sorted out were created in the file- i should have exported a copy as another safeguard!

  • Are "Script: resource://gre/modules/XPIProvider.jsm " the result of an upgrade bug in FF?

    I was getting similar "unresponsive script" messages in a laptop running Win 8 and the recommended fixes didn't work so I took to using a PC with Xp, which worked fine until recent FF upgrades. The only other fix I've tried is adding FB Phishing Protector which hasn't cured the problem.
    FF v. 23.0
    Error message: Script: resource://gre/modules/XPIProvider.jsm -> jar:file:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/Owner/Application%20Data/Mozilla/Firefox/Profiles/pbo63226.default/extensions/%7Bd10d0bf8-f5b5-c8b4-a8b2-2b9879e08c5d%7D.xpi!/bootstrap.js -> jar:file:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/Owner/Application%20Data/Mozilla/Firefox/Profiles/pbo63226.default/extensions/%7Bd10d0bf8-f5b5-c8b4-a8b2-2b9879e08c5d%7D.xpi!/lib/contentPolicy.js:415

    Based on a web search, {d10d0bf8-f5b5-c8b4-a8b2-2b9879e08c5d} identifies AdBlock Plus. You can compare the more friendly names of extensions with their alphanumeric identifiers on this page:
    Help > Troubleshooting Information
    It would be in the second table, under the Extensions heading.
    If there's a problem with AdBlock Plus in Firefox 23, then lots of people are going to have it. Can you check for an update?

    After upgrading from 15 to 18 and then to 19 version, all addons turned off.
    When goind to addon manager page, it shows Loadin... and nothing more. Error from console in subj.

    It is possible that there is a problem with the file(s) that store the extensions registry.
    Delete the files extensions.* (e.g. extensions.sqlite, extensions.ini, extensions.cache) and compatibility.ini in the Firefox profile folder to reset the extensions registry.

    New files will be created when required.
    See "Corrupt extension files":
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Unable_to_install_themes_or_extensions
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Unable+to+install+add-ons
    If you see disabled, not compatible, extensions in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions" then click the Tools button at the left side of the Search Bar (or click the "Find Updates" button in older Firefox versions) to check if there is a compatibility update available.
    If this hasn't helped then also try to delete the addons.sqlite file.

  • Error message at startup ... Script: file:///C:/Program%20Files/Mozilla%20Firefox/modules/XPCOMUtils.jsm:165 please assist me . Thanks

    When starting mozilla firefox I get a screen that includes the following
    Script: file:///C:/Program%20Files/Mozilla%20Firefox/modules/XPCOMUtils.jsm:165
    I am prompted to continue or stop script...

    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).
    See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
    You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the ''Safe mode'' start window.
    You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (on Mac: "Firefox > Quit")

  • Hw do I fix this error "Script:resource://gre//modules/services-sync/engines/prefs.js:219?

    I have a Mac and I get this error when I m trying to adjust setting to print to a Dymo 450 turbo Labelwriter.
    Usually (but not always) when I click on the continue button it totally freezes everything and I have to force quit Firefox

    Please update to version 20 to see if it has any difference. If no difference, try a reset.
    The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
    Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
    To Reset Firefox do the following:
    #Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
    #Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
    #Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
    #Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
    Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.

  • Sometimes when I open Firefox I get a message about scripts and then it freezes it says something about Script: file:///C:/Program%20Files/Mozilla%20Firefox/modules/XPCOMUtils.jsm:165

    This happened this morning. Firefox seemed to freeze and go into slow motion.

    In Firefox Options / Privacy be sure "Remember download history" is checked. To see all of the options on that panel, "Firefox will" must be set to "Use custom settings for history".
    To find your OS information, on your Windows desktop, right-click the My Computer icon, choose Properties, under System on that small window is info about your OS.

  • 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.

  • 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

    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.

  • Error: Warning Unresponsive script, dom.max_script_run_time : not found

    The fix for error: Warning Unresponsive script says goto config page

    == This happened ==
    A few times a week
    == always

    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.)
