Why do I continually get the message about "... a script on this page..."?? Happens many, many times during the day, and requires a click on that box to get rid of it... until next time!

I haven't written down the remainder of the message in the dialogue box; I think it continues with "...has stopped running...", or, "... has stopped working...". If I don't choose one of the two buttons, and try to continue whatever it was that I was doing, the the 'preferred' button blinks / flashes until I select one of those two buttons. Only then can I continue with my interrupted task.
This does NOT happen with IE... and never did.

That is a problem with an AVG extension (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions)

Where would I start searching for someone to contact regarding this CONSTANT 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. "

This is a cut and paste of the repetitive message that shows during every web session I have, repeatedly .
"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.

I am going to go nuts if I don't fix this soon, please help!

The most likely cause is a problem with Java on your system - older and/or messed up Java installations seems to cause this issue sometimes.
To fix:
Step 1: Try installing latest Java version. Check your Firefox/system browser plugins from this page, and install latest version: [http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/plugincheck/ Mozilla Plugin Check Page] (also works for most other browsers)
If latest Java (currently "Java(TM) Platform SE 6 U20 - Next Generation Java Plug-in 1.6.0_20 for Mozilla browsers") does not fix the problem, you may have more versions installed on your system causing problems for each other. This leads us to -
Step 2: Uninstall those you can from Control Panel -> Add/Remove programs. To make sure it is properly cleaned out, see [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/forum/1/595817#threadId608043 these excellent tips from noah_sumo] to clean out Java completely, then install latest version again from the [http://www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp Java.com download page].
If you ''still'' get this error, you may have Norton or another security program which can also in some cases cause this issue. That takes us to:
Step 3: Configure security program correctly.
For Norton 360 see [[Configuring Norton 360]].
For Norton Internet Security, see [[Configuring Norton Internet Security]].
For other firewall programs, see [[Firewalls]].
If none of these steps solves the problem, please provide any detail you can think of that may be related and let us know, and we will try to find other solutions to get this solved.

HT1311 Hi. Ive done all the things suggested to change the location of the itunes store, but for some reason every time i try to donwload an app i get a message saying 'Account not in this store' even though ive entered my uk info and am trying to downloa

So I dont know what to do. can you please suggest something?
thank you

Are you sure your AppleID is NOT tied to the US store? If you are trying to buy an app from the Swedish store you will be unable to do that. Some apps are only available on certain stores. That is why you get the "Cannot connect to the iTunes store" message when trying to buy that app. Your updates are being done from the US store ; thats why you can update sometimes and sometimes not.
If you keep encountering problems contact iTunes support. They will help you sort it out.

I keep getting a message about a bot running on my phone while trying to use the internet or Pinterest. What is this?

When using my phone off of WIFI I get warnings that there is a bot running on my phone (this does happen occasionally while connected to my WIFI). This happens in safari and in Pinterest. What does this mean, I can not search or post in Pinterest.

Let's make sure your Smartphone stays smart and keeps your apps working, Jennifer! Can you tell me exactly what it shown about the bot? Did this start after installing any recent applications or updates? Please try a soft reset by holding the Power and Home keys until device restarts.
Thank you,

I get a message saying "Firefox has prevented this page from reloading" when I am trying to load video to Facebook which stops it from loading. I click "allow" and the message just reappears. How do I allow this function?

Message reads "Firefox prevented this page from automatically reloading".

See:
* Firefox/Tools > Options > Advanced > General : Accessibility : [ ] "Warn me when web sites try to redirect or reload the page"
The setting in "Tools > Options > Advanced > General" is meant as an accessibility feature, as you can see by the label of that section, so that people with disabilities or people who use screen readers do not get confused and is not meant as a safety protection to stop redirecting.

What does it mean when I get a message which says: To display this page, Firefox must send information that will repeat any action (such as search or order confirmation) that was performed earlier?

This error message comes up when I am trying to get a log in box to come up on a particular secure website. Sometimes the log in box does come up, but when I go to log in nothing happens.

You get an alert about resending POST data if you go back to a page or refresh a page that was previously requested from the server by submitting form data via a (hidden) POST form. 
Firefox can only make sure to get the same page by resending that POST form. 
Firefox doesn't know what that form data means, so Firefox asks for confirmation before resending that form data as such an action can cause you to repeat an action and buy another item or post a message another time. 
A way to prevent that pop-up is not to use the Back button, but to open links from a page that was requested from a server by sending a POST form in a new tab (window) with a middle-click or a Ctrl + left-click. 
Then you can close that tab or window to go back.

Cannot update FB app on ipod touch, started getting the message you can not update this software since you have not owned the major version"

I've been having no problem updating apps on my ipod touch, but two days ago I started getting the above message, only for the FB update. I have deleted, reinstalled, reset -nothing helps. Apple support could not figure it out either, they said it's a 3rd party app (they did try to help me but nothing worked). The notification that there is an update won't go away as long as FB is on my ipod. Help!

I get a message bar saying "Firefox prevented this page from automatically redirecting to another page." How can I find out what page it was trying to redirect to so I know whether I want to "allow" it or not?

I've used Firefox for a long time, but recently this message started appearing every time I open Firefox.

Cannot contact Windows Help and Support Centre as I receive the message "An ActiveX control on this page is not safe, your current settings prohibit running unsafe controls on this page". My ISP says this is a Mozilla incompatibility?

I run Windows XPSP2, my ISP is BT Broadband, security suite is BT NetProtect Plus which is essentially a McAfee product. I am having trouble with a printer connection - when I turn it on I receive a message "USB Device not recognised". I have done usual things turned off, unplugged, replugged with identical lead that is known to be OK, uninstalled software and tried to reinstall from CD (cannot complete as message recived again as oon as I turn on printer). Final solution is to click on this message as it advises to obtain USB troubleshooting advice from Microsoft Help and Support Centre. This is when I get message in my original question which prevents me going further. I have accessed Windows/Contol Panel/Internet/Security and set level to medium but this makes no difference. Contacting my ISP, I was told this was an incompatibility issue with Mozilla. If so I have no way of finding out what my connection problem is.

ActiveX is an Internet Explorer plugin system and will not work on Firefox or many other browsers. To use ActiveX you will need to use Internet Explorer.

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. 
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.
* 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.

Acrobat 9 Pro: Message "An error exists on this page. Acrobat may not display page correctly.

Hi everyone,
I posted this in September: "Over the past week, I have received pdfs from 2 different graphic design contractors that do not open correctly in Acrobat 9 Pro. There is an error in the document and when I scroll to the page where the error is, I get: "An error exists on this page. Acrobat may not display the page correctly. Please contact the person hwo created the PDF document to correct the problem." I did this, and the contractor remade the pdf 3 times, and I still couldn't open it. This contractor is already using CS5. For the problem today, I haven't asked for it to be remade yet--decided to see if I could find out if anyone else is having the same problem. The second contractor is using CS4. The only thing that I have done differently at my end over the past week is upgrade CS4 to CS5. I already had Acrobat Pro 9 so I didn't update it when I updated my CS5 products. Should I have upgraded Acrobat 9 anyway? Somehow, it doesn't feel right that this is the problem. Any info on this would be appreciated."
I got one response from that posting, suggesting that the pdf was corrupted over email. That wasn't the problem.
What I didn't say above is that whenever I got an error message upon opening the pdf and clicked OK, I got another message: "Insufficient data for an image." I found that one or all of the images in the pdf were missing. Upon further investigation, the contractor and I found that sometimes the error message pointed to a specific font used--that being a Helvetica Bold font. Once we substituted it with a Helvetica Neue LT Std Adobe Opentype font, we no longer had an issue.
However, the problem rose it's ugly head today--what, 6 months later! I'm talking about 2 different pdfs this time.
For PDF#1, I got this error message about the font: "Cannot extract the embedded font 'JNAGNS+HelveticaNeueLTStd-Bd'. Some characters may not display or print correctly." When I click OK, I get another: "Insufficient data for an image." The images don't show up in the pdf. What I don't understand about this pdf is that this is one of those that was fixed in September. The only changes made in the document was to paragraph text--none to the text in the images. When I opened the revised pdf today, I am getting the same message again. This makes no sense.
I returned to my September blog to see if any further advice had been posted, but nada--not even anything from Adobe about it. I goggled until I found where someone suggested running a "Report PDF syntax issues" analysis in Preflight. I did that and even though the analysis showed the pdf passed, I checked the fonts in the list and saw that the one pointed to in the error message showed that a long list of glyphs were missing on both pages of the pdf. I have asked my contractor to replace her font with a new one, in case it has gotten corrupted. Haven't a new pdf to open yet.
Then when I opened PDF#2, I got the message: "An error exists on this page. Acrobat may not display the page correctly. Please contact the person hwo created the PDF document to correct the problem." When I ran the "Report PDF syntax issues" analysis in Preflight, I found got this warning: "Invalid operand(s) for operator (1 match on 1 page)". I clicked through and under "Page Description Errors/Invalid operand(s) for operator", it identifies Operator Name, Stream State, Operators Read, and Traversal Path. Under "Trigger Values" is says "Invalid operand(s) for operator: is true". None of this means a thing to me so I can't figure out what the problem is.
Let me say this: Both the contractor and I are using CS5 and Acrobat Pro 9, on Lion. If it helps, the contractor also sent one of the problem pdfs back in September to my boss who is running Acrobat Pro 9 on Windows 7 and she got the same messages.
Does anyone out there have a suggestion for us? PLEASE HELP!!!!

Thanks to all for posting suggestions. As it turned out, the contractor who was having a problem reinstalled Acrobat 9. She works from home and is emailing the pdfs to me. Things were running smoothly until this past week, when the problem started again. Whenever I get a pdf that won't open properly or print, I asked her to zip it and it is no longer a problem. Last week, I had the same problem start with a contractor in Florida and she also zips the pdf when there is a problem. Now I am thinking the problem might be at my end. I wonder if something is happening to them when they come through our firewall at work. I asked IT about it before but they didn't have a clue what the problem might be. Right now, zipping is the answer...who knows how long that will continue to work.

so, I have read the many other threads on this problem:
1. I just installed firefox for the first time - this happens on facebook and many other sites
2. I have reset firefox - did not fix the problem
3. I have checked all my extensions and plug ins for up to date
4. I turned off hardware acceleration
5. I tried disabling all my plug ins
6. I used to use firefox, but it started doing this and I was never able to resolve this and went to chrome.
I am using Win 7. No problem, ofr the most part, using IE or Chrome, I just wanted to try firefox again. Does it not work with win 7?

You can try to clear the Flash local storage and settings if the problem is with the Flash plugin.

Every time I open this piece of junk and try to visit a website (ANY website), I get this error message: "A script on this page may be busy, or it may have stopped... "

Here's the error message again:

I'm about to give up and head back over to chrome, this is not worth the hassle.

Create a new profile exclusively for the 4.0 beta version and create a desktop shortcut with -P "profile" appended to the target to launch that profile.
