Who wrote the software that creates unresponsive script messages and why did they do it?

A few years ago I switched from IE5 to Mozilla Firefox because people recommended it. At first it was great. But gradually, more and more I get the Unresponsive Script message. I am running Windows XP with Norton security.
I have not added any other software since I switched to Firefox, apart from switching from Dialup to Broadband.. It does not matter if I click on 'Stop' or 'continue'. I have Firefox set up to automatically update. Invariably the error message is about a script that starts with'a.gfx' or something similar. I do not want this, did not ask for it, have not changed my habits or the types of websites i visit. I do not expect to have to become technically competent at removing software, because this was not a problem before I switched to Firefox and it ran fine to start with. Now Mozilla seems slow to start is another message I get . The problem seems to be Firefox not anything I have done. I want a browser that does not give me problems. Before I take my laptop to a computer shop, I would like to know why it was not a problem before and why Firefox has done this to me. If I have to buy a new computer withourt a proper explanation, I will not use firefox in future and I will tell people that Mozilla could not solve my problems. The least you could do is to (a) give me a thorough explanation and (b) send me an update that will fix all this.

"gfx" often refers to the features of Firefox that interact most closely with your graphics card software. As this can change over time, it is possible that Firefox has become incompatible with your old graphic card drivers, or that it is incompatible with the new drivers.
The standard workaround for this is to disable Firefox's use of hardware acceleration for graphics. There is a checkbox for this:
"3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced
On the "General" mini-tab, uncheck the box for "Use hardware acceleration when available"
That will take effect the next time you start Firefox.
More generally, it would be helpful to get more of the error message. You could grab a screenshot when you see it, and save those to see whether there is a pattern. This article has tips on screenshots: [[How do I create a screenshot of my problem?]]

Can you copy/paste files from the Finder to Mail in Lion, or drag them onto the Mail icon in the Dock to create a new message and attach the files to it?

Message title says it: Can you copy/paste files from the Finder to Mail in Lion, or drag them onto the Mail icon in the Dock to create a new message and attach the files to it?
I can't find anything in the Knowledge Base that says these two options no longer work or still do.
I do not have a system capable of running Lion, but I need to know the answer nonetheless.

Gee, I don't know: "paste attachments mail Lion"? ;-)
One further question, if I may: in Panther (which is where I've aggregated nearly 7 years of mail), if you copy more than one file in the Finder, switch to Mail, and paste the files into a new message, only the file names paste in. If you copy one file and paste it into a Mail message, you get the file, not just the name. Is that still true, or has that (IMHO) bug been fixed since 10.3.9?

HT5085 I have found that at least 3 music videos that I had previously purchased are not available in my I-tunes music video list. I paid for them over a year ago, why are they not accessible, and why did they just disappear from my lists?

I have found that at least 3 music videos that I had previously purchased are not available in my I-tunes music video list. I paid for them over a year ago, why are they not accessible, and why did they just disappear from my lists?

Have you deleted anything from your iTunes library ? Have you checked to see if they are still on your computer, but not listed in your iTunes library ?
If not then do they show in the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage for redownloading ? If they don't show there and others do and they are still in your country's store, then check to see if they are hidden : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4919
If they are no longer in your store for redownloading (or you aren't in a country where music videos can be redownloaded) then you will need to copy them back from your backup of your library/downloads.

Firefox came up with the unresponsive script message and now if frozen?

Firefox came up with the unresponsive script message. I clicked 'stop script' but now Firefox has frozen and is not responding to anything I do. I cannot click on anything. It will not let me close it down, uninstall it or shut down my computer.

Upgraded to FF 33 and installed English dictionary. Now FF is hanging frequently in www.morningstar.com and I believe elsewhere with the following:
Warning: Unresponsive Script
Script: chrome://browser/content/browser.js.17006
I do NOT understand the "chrome" reference.
This is quite annoying. I upgraded to FF 33 in order to try to get back spell checking in Morningstar posts which I lost back at FF 24, as I recall, but it did NOT solve the problem. Now I have this mess.

"Warning: Unresponsive script" message and Firefox v16+

I recently upgraded to v16, and then v17. In both cases I repeatedly received the dreaded "Warning: Unresponsive script" message, so frequently that the browser became unusable.

I reverted to v15 and now I NEVER get the "Warning: Unresponsive script" message anymore
Just so you know...

Since upgrading to 3.6.3, I have 3 problems: frequent crashes, frequent "unresponsive script" messages, and frequent pop-ups, even with pop-up blocker turned on.

Crashes are pretty random - can't link them to any particular site or action. The unresponsive script messages mostly come from e-mail sites (yahoo, gmail). Pop-ups are frequent and annoying, and may be causing some of the crashes.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== I upgraded to version 3.6.3

I have the same problem and it's really frustating - although my main browser is Google Chrome, I use Firefox for all the RSS feeds that I subscribe to and sites that only have Firefox plug-ins. Will Mozilla FIrefox get this fixed with a newer version soon?

I should point out that there are two attributes of all AD objects that can help you track down the correct information in the system logs. These are the whenCreated and whenChanged attributes. This will tell when the object was created and when it was last
modified, which should help when you search the logs. Also, while whenCreated is replicated to all DC's, so they will all have the exact same creation time, the whenChanged attribute is technically not replicated. The date/time on each DC reflects when
the last modification was replicated to that DC. The values will differ slightly on each DC, reflecting how long it took for the change to replicate.

Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.

They moved after I installed Marginize. Removing Marginize moved it back.
You have Marginize, so this is likely it.

When and why did they get rid of the emac?

When did they get rid of it? What for?

It stopped being visible on the main retail store upon the release of the latest iMacs. I have no answer to why.
You can always find used and refurbished eMacs. And they may also still be available on educational stores. Since I'm not a college student or k-college educator, I can't check those stores to tell for certain. Remember, when it was initially released it was only available on educational stores.

My restrictions are on and I didn't turn them on. The code is not the one I use to unlock my ipad. How can I find out the code to turn off my restrictions and why did it turn on?

My restrictions are turned on. I didn't turn them on. The only code I've used on my ipad is to unlock it and that code won't work on my restrictions. How do I turn off restrictions and prevent them being turned on again?

The only option is to wipe the device clean and restore it to factory settings. Hope you have a backup.
Follow the instructions in iOS: How to back up your data and set up your device as a new device http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137 to restore the device to factory settings.
Once you have setup the device as a new one, you can then sync it back with your iTunes account and all your music, apps, contacts and any other content sync'ed with iTunes will be loaded on the device. Any content that is stored only on the device and not sync'ed with iTunes, like app logins or data, will be lost during this process. Be forewarned that this is a long process and can take a couple of hours or more to complete. This can be painful, but it is necessarily so to prevent users from working around the security settings. After the restore is complete, you can setup a new Restrictions passcode. Make a note of the passcode to avoid this situation in future.

E mail... I dont like the new system....And why did i have to change?

Your new e mail system is a joke...

I don't like it either and a tech changed it back to the old system a couple of weeks ago. Things were great and then Verizon wouldn't let me access the old one anymore, so back to the new one I went.
Today, I have been unable to access my verizon email for 12 hours. I went on chat with a tech and she couldn't help me either. I am still without email access and am getting more frustrated with each passing hour.

Encore CS5: The software that's used to decode the media is not available on this system...

Hi guys, I am needing assistance with this matter. I have read up on similar threads (mostly commented on my Bill Hunt), but I fear I may be missing something. Can anyboy please assist me?
Here's the background:
OS: Windows 7 64-bit.
Video footage format: AVCHD 1440 X 1080 (1.333) 25fps, 48KHz
Photoshop Images: 1440 X 1080 (1.333)
I have been running CS4 Master collection for the past year and a half, with minimal hassles in encore (except for the early patch that needed to be downloaded and applied for some or other transcoding error in Encore CS4).
Right, so we bought the CS5 Master collection upgrade, and all applications are running great, except Encore. The moment I have completed editing my hour-long video in Premiere Pro CS5, I "send to Encore" via Dynamic Link. (This is the way I have been operating countless times in CS4. However now, in Encore CS5, the programme opens with all the regular project settings and saving dialogues, but the the moment it looks as though Encore is going get going, it stalls and doesnt respond, forcing me to close and try again.
So I tried the other way around. I restarted Encore, created a new project, in a new project folder, encore opens, and I chose to Import as "new timeline" selecting the Premiere project of choice. This time around, i don't get a crash out of Encore, instead I get the following message:
"The software that's used to decode the media is not available on this system.
Installing the correct decoders for the files you are working with may help to correct the problem."
So I googled the matter, and came up with Bill's response to the same problem (expect the date that it was posted was back in 2009). I am would desperately like to know if there is a solution, a patch, a workaround of some sorts that can help me get back to my usual workflow. I am pretty screwed without encore at this present moment, and the work is piling up. Can anybody help?
Many Thanks,
Matt

I am having the same problem however I end up having hardware error "Sense code 52102"
My video capture is similar to yours except I am using HD (Canon HNV model Legria HV40)
The process takes a long time and I have breaks in my recording to DVD and with no sound - once it completed after 40 hours.
I have wasted over 20 DVD's trying different things.
OS: Windows 7 64-bit.
Video footage format: HD 1440 X 1080 (1.333) 25fps, 48KHz
Photoshop Images: 1440 X 1080 (1.333)
I have not tried what you did buy opening up Encore and importing to new timeline , let me do that and see if I get the same message.

I have been a Quicken user for many years but have heard that the move to Yosemite is a Quicken nightmare - so I'm trying to research new software. I'm overwhelmed by the number of available programs, all the things that each program can do and perplexed by the arguments for and against each feature in each program.
My needs are relatively simple for my small business: 1) I need to be able to import years worth of Quicken data into the new program 2) I need to easily print checks 3) I need to easily reconcile my checking account each month and 4) I need to generate basic reports for my accountant (e.g. P & L statements, category summaries).
I have been a FileMaker user since 1.0 so I don't need (or want) A/R, A/P, inventory management, invoicing, etc.
I just need a solid, dependable electronic checkbook per above.
Suggestions?

Thanks for your response and feedback.
I would recommend you continue with Quicken Essentials. As noted by others, it performs well on Yosemite.
My personal experience is Quicken 2007 for Mac also on 10.7.5 (with many reports of it both updated and successfully running on Yosemite) and I personally would not touch Quicken Essentials with a 10 foot pole -- BUT, if it ain't broke for you, don't fix it!

The software that used to decode the media is not available on this system

I can see that this has been asked numerous times over the years. I am sorry to post this AGAIN, but I have not yet found a solution and have a deadline looming.
We created a 200+ DVD's using Encore CS6 on a Windows 7 system.
We upgraded to Windows 8. Re-installed CS6 Production Premium.
Now, when we try to open the projects to make a few edits, we get the "The software that's used to decode the media is not available on this system. Installing the correct decoders for the files you are working with may help to correct the problem."
I've done the Encore Updates. I've done the Media Encoder updates. I've "Run as Administrator".
I've tried re installing.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to debug this? The videos are already transcoded as *.m2v files.
You'd think this would be easy... like install a codec or something.
==> Mike.

Part of the problem is that this is probably not a "logical" error. The common cause of this issue is still image files where the pixel size is too large. This suggests that Encore's (and other Adobe apps) ability to handle image size is exceeded without a better error message. The link, which I'm going to post until I find a "new" location (if one exists) is now a bad link:
http://helpx.adobe.com/encore/kb/error-software-used-decode-media.html
And in this example where it was not an image issue, the user fixed the problem by re-encoding the problem file.
