What is chrome://browser/content/sanitize.js:136 - how do I get rid of this error message?

What is chrome://browser/content/sanitize.js:136
This is an up-date of my earlier question that remains open.
I deleted (copied and then deleted) my profile and started with a clean slate. Did not make the slightest difference. So I un-installed FF 5. beta and went back to v4
I'd like to try v5 again, but only once this issue can be dealt with.

Are you clearing the cookies via [[Clear Recent History]]?
If you do then you can try to exclude the cookies to see if that helps.
If you use [[Clear Recent History]] to clear the cookies when you close Firefox then Firefox also tries to clear the cookies from plugins like Flash and starts a plugin-container process with the Flash player and possibly other plugins as well for each cookie, so that can add extra time if there are a lot of cookies to remove.<br />
Also make sure that all plugins are up to date.
You can let all cookies expire when you close Firefox.

  • When I clear history script:chrome://browser/content/sanitize.js:136 hangs, what is this?

    When I "clear recent history" it hangs and "script:chrome://browser/content/sanitize.js:136" comes up and I have to stop the script to continue. This started within the last week.

    On Windows, the file path is:
    %APPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\%PROFILENAME%\downloads.sqlite
    I renamed the file, but it did not work.
    What I did was uncheck all of the checkboxes in "Clear Recent History..."
    By one checkbox at a time, I cleared each item.
    When I reached the "Cookies" item, I got the unresponsive script/JavaScript error, so I left that unchecked and cleared the rest of the items.
    After I cleared everything else, I returned to the "Cookies" item, and I was able to clear it now.
    "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.

  • While deleting history firefox crash with error of Script: chrome://browser/content/sanitize.js:136.So has to wait or cancel the script.

    I have upgraded Firefox to 4.0.1.But while deleting history(everything) Firefox hangs for some time and then this error appears
    Script: chrome://browser/content/sanitize.js:136
    is unable to continue.so either wait till process complete or stop the process.Sometimes it crashes Firefox.

    It's great to know that the good people at Mozilla doesn't give a shit that it takes 5min to clear my history after I've browsed porn.

  • Each time I attempt to use the "Clear history" option I get this. chrome://browser/content/sanitize.js:136

    This only began with the last two versions of Firefox. The computer then hangs up and runs slower than my original Tandy Radio Shack from 1984 with tape.

    That can be caused by clearing the cookies via "Clear Recent History".

    If you use "Clear Recent History" to clear the cookies then Firefox also tries to clear the cookies from plugins like Flash (LSO) and starts a plugin-container process for each plugin and that can add extra time and can cause an unresponsive script error to appear.

    Let all cookies expire when you close Firefox to remove unwanted cookies and keep the ones with an allow exception.
    Make sure that you do not clear the "Site Preferences" as that will remove all exceptions.

  • Quando provo a cancellare la cache mi spunta questo script:chrome://browser/content/sanitize.js:136 hangs, ... che cosa è?

    Poi quando riapro mozilla però la cache sembra essere stata svuotata... non so cosa sia è la prima volta che mi spunta un errore del genere. Grazie.

    Are you clearing the cookies as well?
    This can be caused by a problem with removing cookies created by plugins (e.g. local storage) that Firefox tries to clear by starting a plugin-container process.

  • Whenever I try to "clear recent history" in Firefox 6.0, I get a messages saying a script ("chrome://browser/content/sanitize.js:133") is busy or has stopped responding. How can I remedy this?

    Whenever I try to "clear recent history," which I try to do after every browsing session, I get a message saying "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: chrome://browser/content/sanitize.js:133" I used to get this periodically before I upgraded to Firefox 6.0 but now I get it every time I try to clear my recent history. This happens on both my home and work computers and I'm using Firefox 6.0 and a Windows XP Professional SP2 operating system on each computer. How can I remedy this?

  • In chrome I'm getting green double underline hyperlinks to ads.  How can I get rid of this without adding more junk to the computer?

    I have both safari and chrome, because I'm used to chrome.  The only extension I have is Google docs.  I started getting green double underline hyperlinks to ads.  How can I get rid of this without adding more junk to the computer?  People suggest programs to do it, but how do I know they won't make it worse?
    Is someone from Apple here and can answer?
    Thanks!

    You may have installed the "VSearch" trojan. Remove it as follows.
    Malware is always changing to get around the defenses against it. These instructions are valid as of now, as far as I know. They won't necessarily be valid in the future. Anyone finding this comment a few days or more after it was posted should look for more recent discussions or start a new one.
    Back up all data before proceeding.
    Step 1
    From the Safari menu bar, select
              Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
    Uninstall any extensions you don't know you need, including any that have the word "Spigot," "Trovi," or "Conduit" in the description. If in doubt, uninstall all extensions. Do the equivalent for the Firefox and Chrome browsers, if you use either of those.
    Reset the home page and default search engine in all the browsers, if it was changed.
    Step 2
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    /Library/LaunchAgents/com.vsearch.agent.plist
    Right-click or control-click the line and select
              Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
    from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item named "com.vsearch.agent.plist" selected. Drag the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password.
    Repeat with each of these lines:
    /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.vsearch.daemon.plist
    /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.vsearch.helper.plist
    Restart the computer and empty the Trash. Then delete the following items in the same way:
    /Library/Application Support/VSearch
    /System/Library/Frameworks/VSearch.framework
    ~/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/ConduitNPAPIPlugin.plugin
    Some of these items may be absent, in which case you'll get a message that the file can't be found. Skip that item and go on to the next one.
    The problem may have started when you downloaded and ran an application called "MPlayerX." That's the name of a legitimate free movie player, but the name is also used fraudulently to distribute VSearch. If there is an item with that name in the Applications folder, delete it, and if you wish, replace it with the genuine article from mplayerx.org.
    This trojan is often found on illegal websites that traffic in pirated content such as movies. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect more of the same, and worse, to follow.
    You may be wondering why you didn't get a warning from Gatekeeper about installing software from an unknown developer, as you should have. The reason is that the Internet criminal behind VSearch has a codesigning certificate issued by Apple, which causes Gatekeeper to give the installer a pass. Apple could revoke the certificate, but as of this writing has not done so, even though it's aware of the problem. This failure of oversight has compromised both Gatekeeper and the Developer ID program. You can't rely on Gatekeeper alone to protect you from harmful software.
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination  command-C. In the Finder, select
              Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Try deleting the problematic file (electing to remove original file if/when prompted) and then re-downloading the file from the iTunes store.
    You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option from the Quick Links section in the top right corner of the iTunes homepage in your iTunes application on your computer.
