Whay am I having script errors with some of my websites only on Firefox, not other browsers, causing the computer to freeze for a bit at a time.

I keep getting "script" errors and my computer locking up while using Mozilla Firefox on some of my websites. I don't have this problem while using Internet Explorer. Why has this just started and how can I resolve this? I like Firefox, but will have to start using a different browser if this doesn't get resolved.

Hello,
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* On Windows you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* On Mac you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
* On Linux you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by quitting Firefox and then going to your Terminal and running: firefox -safe-mode (you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
[[Image:FirefoxSafeMode|width=520]]
''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
[[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''
Thank you.

  • Having trouble loading ASPX pages from one website, only in firefox, only on one computer.

    I am having an issue where firefox will not load an aspx page, from one computer. It seems to work fine on everything else. I have disabled the virus scanner, firewall and web filter. It works fine on other browsers, on the same computer.
    I've tried clearing the cookies, cache and offline storage. I also uninstalled and reinstalled firefox and tried loading the page in firefox safe mode.
    Any ideas?

  • When I try to read my rss-feed through yandex service, the browser and the whole system freeze for a significant amount of time. This started with Firefor 5 and is very unpleasant. Thank you in advance.

    When I try to download (and especially renew) a page with my rss-feed that I read with Yandex service, the browser freezes, and then the whole system freezes. It typically takes about 5-7 minutes to load a very minimalistic page, and I can't use my browser or my system during that time.
    This started with the release of Firefox 5. I use it on Ubuntu. I haven't experienced similar problems with any other websites.
    I have already contacted the Yandex team about the matter.
    I guess it's just a little weird that one of the Yandex services won't work in Firefox, as Firefox comes with a built-in yandex-bar in many cases. And it sure is frustrating.
    Thank you very much and I am looking forward to your reply.

  • Why do I get "Oops! Firefox could not find..." a lot only with Firefox not other browsers ?

    All too often, I continue to clink on links and firefox can not connect to those link the first time and sometimes the second time, but eventually it does. How can I prevent this annoyance or should I just switch to a different browser that doesn't have that problem?

    A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox without informing you about that, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
    Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox.

  • Why does my bank not recognize my computer every time I log on, and this only occurs when I log on with Firefox not other browsers

    I log on to by bank and firefox remembers my account #, but when the next screen pops up the bank does not recognize my computer. Each time after answering the correct security question ,I check the box to remember this as a personal computer but it never does. This only happens when I use Firefox, not other browsers. The other browsers remember the acct and that it is a personal computer.

    Many site issues can be caused by corrupt cookies or cache. In order to try to fix these problems, the first step is to clear both cookies and the cache.
    Note: ''This will temporarily log you out of all sites you're logged in to.''
    To clear cache and cookies do the following:
    #Go to Firefox > History > Clear recent history or (if no Firefox button is shown) go to Tools > Clear recent history.
    #Under "Time range to clear", select "Everything".
    #Now, click the arrow next to Details to toggle the Details list active.
    #From the details list, check ''Cache'' and ''Cookies'' and uncheck everything else.
    #Now click the ''Clear now'' button.
    Further information can be found in the [[Clear your cache, history and other personal information in Firefox]] article.
    We hope to hear from you soon.
    I would not recommend storing any bank information on your computer, for various security issues.

  • I have been having scripting errors that have not been able to be resolved by any of the measures listed on your Help page.

    I've gone through the Help list under "Unresponsive Script Errors": I don't have Webroot SpySweeper; I tried letting the scripts run longer (selecting "Continue") but they keep coming up; my errors come up all the time, not just on certain websites; and I tried disabling add-ons to see if they were causing the problem, but they weren't. I have also completely cleared my cache several times and then updated Java, since I've heard outdated versions of this can cause scripting errors. I finally tried uninstalling and reinstalling Firefox (a clean reinstall, with no preferences saved), but that didn't work, either. Then I downloaded FileHippo and downloaded all other the updates it detected as being needed for my system, including Firefox Beta. Could my low RAM possibly cause my continued problems? Also, are scripting errors related to No Response errors? I am still getting these, too, after performing all except the most complicated remedial actions for them recommended on the Help page. (Both these types of errors started occurring for me at the same time.)

    The error often has the name of the extension in it in some manner, '''supply the message wording''' then at least we'd have an idea of what you see. Plus we really don't know what you did look at, or what you actually tried of what you did look at.
    For instance "AVG Free" shows something like tavgp in the message, if I recall correctly, so they aren't always real obvious unless you've seen it before.
    But if you really went through some of help pages you would have tried in Safe Mode, gone through the diagnostics, and almost certainly gone through all your extensions turning half off then have of those on or have of those just turned off back on again and repeat -- not fun but it doesn't take a real long time, but I'd rather try other ways first, because I have a lot of extensions and many are already turned off because of Firefox changes for the worse, certainly not because I don't need them.

  • Firefox freezes/script errors with every page load

    Have had this issue for about a week now where every single page I load freezes for 20-30 seconds and comes back with a script error of some kind asking me to either stop it or continue on. Appears to be Java related but have tried everything to clear the errors (cleared Java cache, Reset Firefox, ran TFC) and they are still coming up.
    Both Chrome and IE work fine loading the same pages.

    Hi,
    I am sorry to hear about Firefox not responding on many websites. Please try to change the max time a script can load with these noted config preferences: [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/warning-unresponsive-script] The default preference may be hitting the limit?
    If it is java related, have you reinstalled Java or checked if it was up to date? [https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/plugincheck/]

  • I am having a problem with some extensions including one with the id 972ce4c6-7e09-4474-a285-3208198ce6fd

    I believe that I am having two different extension issues.
    I have been getting errors in the error console about not able to read the chrome.manifest file for extension 972ce4c6-7e08-4474-a285-3208198ce6fd. I do not know what this extension is. I have looked at Troubleshooting information for extensions and can not find this extension.
    Also, I applied the Norton fix for Firefox 4 available on the Norton 360 community forum. The Norton Toolbar works on admin accounts, but does not work on non-admin accounts.

        I can see that this issue has been quite extensive, and frustrating, and I am so sorry for all that has happened societygirl! I would like to help you work this issue out. Please follow & send me a Direct Message, so I can get your account specifics and help finally bring this to a resolution.
    Thank you,

  • Download Error with iTunes 10.2.1 "source file could not be read"

    I recently had to restore my iPod due to some issues I was having. After it was done wiping the iPod, a message on my computer told me that after my computer restarted (automatically), I needed to keep my ipod connected so it could re-sync with my backup file. When it restarted, I waited awhile for my ipod to show up in itunes, but unfortunately it never did. I then went to the support page for this, which I have had to do in the past, and I learned that I had to completely reinstall itunes. This is the second time in the past month I have had to do this. I deleted all of the necessary files mentioned on the support page and then restarted my computer. I then went to the itunes download page and clicked download iTunes 10.2.1, the latest version, which is the same version I had before I uninstalled it.
    _*THE ERROR:*_
    About 30 seconds into the download, I get an error message that reads:
    "Download Error
    /Users/Berry/Downloads/iTunes10.2.1.dmg could not be saved, because the source file could not be read"
    This did not happen last time I had to do this re-installation process.
    Thanks in advance for any help and sorry for the long post.

    Whats the problem with this thing?
    One thing i can tell is that i changed some settings in Micromedia Flash, because i learned that they where spying on US, then boom no more download. It stops and tell me it could not be read from the server. Dont remember if it started right after i changed the settings, but its driving me nuts

  • I can import some songs from another computer but not others.  All the songs were purchased with the same apple id. Message says "...check connection to network..." Any ideas as to what could be causing this problem?

    Using home share, I can import some songs from my son's  computer but not others.  All the songs were purchased with the same apple id.  Err msg:"There was a problem downloading ... You do not have enouggh access privileges for this operation. Please check that the connection to the network is active and try again."  The network appears to be fine .  I can import other songs from his library.  The same songs cause me a problem each time I try.  My husband had no trouble importing the same songs I have trouble with. I get the same error message if I try to import the same songs from my husbands computer as well.  "Command I" appears to show the same protections on both the songs I can import & the ones I cannot.  My husband and son are both running OS 10.6, while I am running 10.7.  I think I had this problem even before I upgraded, but I am not certain.

    Welcome to Apple Discussions..
    My first suggestion is to Repair Disk. Here's how:
    Insert Installer disk and Restart, holding down the "C" key.
    Go to Installer menu (Panther and earlier) or Utilities menu (Tiger) and launch Disk Utility.
    Select your HDD (manufacturer ID) in the left panel.
    Select First Aid in the Main panel.
    (Check S.M.A.R.T Status of HDD at the bottom of right panel, and report)
    Click Repair Disk on the bottom right.
    If DU reports disk does not need repairs quit DU and restart.
    If DU reports errors Repair again and again until DU reports disk is repaired.
    If DU reports errors it cannot repair you will need to use a utility like Tech Tool Pro or Disk Warrior
    Please post back and let me know how that goes.
    Here are a few links that may help you to identify the issues:

    Please don't hesitate to post back should you have further questions or comments, or with update.

  • Getting "Windows could not parse or process the unattend answer file for pass [specialize]" with IE10 integration? Read this...

    Hey guys,
    I just discovered an issue with using MDT to integrate Internet Explorer 10 into Windows 7 & 2008 R2 image files. Building the images was no problem at all, but when I tried to deploy them it would bomb with this error every time:
    "Windows could not parse or process the unattend answer file for pass [specialize]."
    So a very annoying and cryptic error to say the least. Obviously the issue was with the unattend.xml file that gets auto-generated by MDT, but all the items under "specialize" had worked just fine when I built the image and the IE version
    was the only item that had changed. After comparing the Windows 7 & Server 2008 R2 unattend.xml files to my Windows 8 & Server 2012 unattend.xml files (because they have IE 10 native) I discovered that the following flag was missing
    from the Windows 8 & Server 2012 unattend.xml files:
    <IEWelcomeMsg>false</IEWelcomeMsg>
    So I simply commented it out like so:
    Re-ran my test deployment and viola, 100% successful with zero errors. I was a little embarrassed/annoyed that this took me so long to track down, then I realized others might be struggling with this too so thought I'd share.
    Hope my time spent saves someone else some grief!

    I know the last reply was from a couple weeks ago, but honestly, I haven't been able to find anything else in the last week of searching Google. I'm new to the MDT process but I'm having the same issue with what you posted. I can shift-F10 during the "Applying
    system settings" and open my unattend.xml file and remove the IEWelcomeMsg line and the image deploys perfectly, so I know that's my problem. I can't figure out where that line is coming from. I have edited every unattend.xml file in the Templates folder under
    MDT and also the one in my deployment task sequence, but somewhere during that deployment, that one setting gets added back to the unattend file and nukes the whole image. I'm about to pull my hair out. I'm implementing MDT to save time but I feel like the
    last couple of weeks trying to get it to work have been a waste. I have thought about backing my reference image back to IE9, but having to deploy IE10 post image seems like it's an unnecessary burden. Any help would be appreciated.
