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?

That can be caused by clearing the cookies via [[Clear Recent History]].
* Firefox/Tools > Options > Privacy > Firefox will: "Use custom settings for history" > [X] Clear history when Firefox closes > Settings
* Firefox > History > Clear Recent History or Tools > Clear Recent History
Try to exclude the cookies to see if that helps.<br />
Let all cookies expire when you close Firefox to remove unwanted cookies and keep the ones with an allow exception.<br />
Make sure that you do not clear the "Site Preferences" as that will remove all exceptions.
* Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: "Keep until": "I close Firefox"
If you use [[Clear Recent History]] to clear the cookies then Firefox also tries to clear the cookies from plugins like Flash and starts a plugin-container process for each plugin and that can add extra time and can cause an unresponsive script error to appear.

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.
Script: chrome://browser/content/sanitize.js:136"

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.

Get this error when attempting to clear cache and cookies - why?

This can be caused by clearing the cookies via [[Clear Recent History]].<br />
You can try to exclude the cookies to see if that helps.

* Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: "Keep until": "I close Firefox"
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.

My built-in key board has stopped working how can i fix this?

Did you spill any liquids on your keyboard? If you are in the habit of eating and drinking while using your computer, the keyboard is probably dirty. Use a can of compressed air or a vacuum hose to remove the debris underneath the key. If that does not work, you may actually have a hardware issue.
If you Apple Care, call them and get a case number. Otherwise, take the computer to an Apple store or an AASP. Whichever is more convenient for you. Liquid damage is not covered under Apple's standard 1 year warranty or Apple Care.
NOTE: If you are out of warranty and purchased the computer with a credit card, discuss the warranty issue with the credit card company which you purchased the computer with. They are the only ones who can at this point cover the computer after it goes out of warranty with the manufacturer (Apple).
If you have Homeowners insurance, place a claim with them.

I upgraded to Firefox 4 and my toolbar didn't load, now Firefox won't start automatically saying a script has stopped working. how can I fix this?

Before Firefox will load I have to stop a script message that appears saying that the script for this page is either busy or stopped working. Once I hit stop Firefox will load as normal but without doing this step it will not load at all. Once it is loaded the toolbar has not been loaded and I am told to reinstall the toolbar but I have not been able to do so.

I have my catalog on an external hard drive, trying to open it and the error message saying "lightroom encountered an error when reading from its preview cache and needs to quit" how can i fix this as all my work in in this

I have let it close down put it keeps appearing

I assume you know where your catalogue file (the lrcat file) is located. In the same folder is a previews lrdata folder which you should delete or rename in Explorer, then start LR again.
If I've made incorrect assumptions above, sorry, and we'll go back over it from the start.

Firefox 4 hangs while downloading files, sometimes get an error saying Script: chrome://mozapps/content/downloads/download.xml:68 is busy or may have stopped responding, how can I disable this script?

While downloading files Firefox 4 freezes (started with 3.5) and sometimes I get a window that says Script: chrome://mozapps/content/downloads/download.xml:68 has stopped responding or is busy and asks if I want to stop script or ignore. I have looked through about:config and don't see a way to disable the script and keep it disabled.

That is a problem with an AVG extension (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions)
See:
* [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]

My daughter forgot her password and now her ipod has locked her out and says disabled connect to itunes. The computer which this ipod was synced has crashed. How can I fix this?

My daughter forgot her password and now her ipod has locked her out ir says disabled connect to itunes. The computer she last synced to has crashed. How can I unlock this ipod?

The device will have to be restored but without the last computer it was synced to, that's not a possibility.
Take the iPod to an Apple store or Apple certified repair shop.
You will need a computer in order to sync, restore, and update the iPod in the future.
"If you cannot remember the passcode, you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it."
From here: iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen

Clearing recent history on Firefox freezes browser.

This is actually a problem and what I did to fix it....
Firefox 25 and Mac OS 10.7 (Lion)
Went to "Clear Recent History" and Firefox stopped responding.
• I had to use COMMAND-OPTION-ESC to quit Firefox
I then went to Firefox preferences-->Privacy-->History
• I changed "Remember History" to "Use custom setting for history"
• I checked the box that said, "Clear history when Firefox closes"
THIS IS WHEN THE PROBLEM HAPPENED
• Clicking Firefox from my Startup Menu would cause the pointer to spin endlessly
• Again, I had to use COMMAND-OPTION-ESC to quit Firefox
At this point I was worried that I could lose all of my Bookmarks with a clean install,
so I went to the internet and found out I could start Firefox in a "Safe Mode"
Here is what I did to correct the problem....
1) Hold down option and click Firefox from the Startup Menu (Firefox starts in Safe Mode)
2) I then went to Firefox preferences-->Privacy-->History
3) I unchecked the box that said, "Clear history when Firefox closes"
4) I changed "Use custom setting for history" to "Remember History"
5) I closed the Firefox preferences and Quit Firefox
When I restarted the computer all of my Bookmarks had returned :-)

That was very good work. Well Done.
These can't get your data back, but will help in the future.
These add-ons can be a great help by backing up and restoring Firefox
'''[https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/febe/ FEBE (Firefox Environment Backup Extension)]''' {web link}
FEBE allows you to quickly and easily backup your
Firefox extensions, history, passwords, and more.
In fact, it goes beyond just backing up -- It will actually rebuild
your saved files individually into installable .xpi files.
It will also make backup of files that you choose.

I'm running Spywareblaster on an XP desktop. When I use "Clear Recent History" in Firefox, it disables protection against the same 230 sites that Spyware Blaster was protecting my PC from.

Every time I use "Clear Recent History" in Firefox, I have to open "Spywareblaster" and re-enable protection against the same 230 sites that I was protected against prior to clearing history. Any ideas?

Just make sure that you do not use [[Clear Recent History]] to clear the "Site Preferences" when Firefox is closed.
Clearing "Site Preferences" clears all exceptions for cookies, images, pop-up windows, software installation, and passwords.

OK great info!
I found 2 possible ethernet to USB adapters:
By "Plugable": USB 2.0 to ethernet LAN wired network adapter - seems this will work, but I'll contact Plugable.
2. Apple USB Ethernet Adapter
Easily connect your MacBook Air computer to an Ethernet network with the Apple USB Ethernet Adapter. Small and light, it connects to the USB 2.0 port of your MacBook Air and provides an RJ-45 connector that supports 10/100BASE-T performance. BUT NOT SURE IF THIS WILL WORK ON ANYTHING BUT a MacBook Air…
One person commented:
This little gem used to be the device of choice for adding a second Ethernet interface to a Mac Mini Server and I'd been using one that way for about a year. After doing a software update to 10.6.6 it stopped working. Forewarned is forearmed – it appears that Apple is finally enforcing the MacBook Air system requirement.
Thanks for any additional comments.
