Why is there some "chrome-script" error everytime I right-click to save something?

Same problem as many others have posted, with no solution. Every time I right-click to save something (like a website picture) I get this annoying error about needing to stop some script: "chrome://global/content/contentAreaUtils.js:910"
Then Mozilla either: 1) doesn't respond; or 2) says it's "Solved" when it's not, like here:
http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/forum/1/640519?s=history&as=q
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== ...ever I right-click to save something.

SOLUTION IN BRIEF
I had problems with the chrome://global/content/contentAreaUtils.js:910 script, which I solved by disabling the Add-on Plugin named Google Update 1.2.183.9. In the Tools menu select Add-ons, select Plugins, find Google Update 1.2.183.9, and select Disable. Caution: this may not be the best solution, as disabling an Add-on stops it from doing what it is supposed to do.
SOLUTION IN DETAIL
PROBLEMS
A number of people have posted problems relating to the scripts chrome://global/content/contentAreaUtils.js:910 and chrome://global/content/bindings/browser.xml:187
Problems reported include Firefox opening slowly and/or with an "unresponsive script" message, web pages loading slowly, and script errors occurring when trying to save images or download things.
PREVIOUSLY SUGGESTED SOLUTION
Previous posters on this or other threads have suggested the problem is caused by an Add-on. (Add-ons are found in the Tools menu. There are three kinds: Extensions, Themes, and Plugins.) They suggest following [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]] to identify the particular Add-on that is causing the problem, and to update it (if it is out of date) or to disable it.
However, [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] directs you to identify the offending Extension or Theme randomly, sorting through them one by one until you find the offender. This can be time consuming if you have a lot of them. [[Troubleshooting plugins]] better suggests to start by honing in on a particular suspect Add-on.
SUGGESTED SOLUTION: SUSPECT GOOGLE ADD-ONS
I noted that both scripts people report problems with start with "chrome,” so I suspected the problem Add-On would be from Google and have something to do with their Chrome browser. Using the Tools menu I looked through my Add-Ons and found only two related to Google. One was downloaded after the problems started so I ignored it. The other is the Plugin named Google Update 1.2.183.29.
I tried to update it via Find Updates in the Add-ons window. This launched Mozilla Plugin Check, which lists Google Update 1.2.183.9 as “Unable to Detect Plugin Version.” Clicking “Research” did not yield any easy to find information about a newer version, so I chose to Disable the update entirely via the Add-ons window. Firefox now runs fine.
Note that disabling an Add-on will stop if from doing what it is supposed to do. I do not know what Google Update 1.2.183.9 does and could not readily find anything definitive about it in the Research results, although one person said, “There are several parts of Firefox which are updated by Google. One is the security ‘blacklist’ for spoofed sites and another is the Google Search in the navigation bar. The update may be for something else. Look in your about:config file and see if there's something added over and above the search and security. Might not hurt to see what the Google update plugin is linked to.”

  • Why is there no New Tab option when I right click on a tab?

    When I right click on a tab there should be a "Open New Tab" option.
    Sometimes I have 50 tabs open in a single window and I just want to open a new tab beside the 1st tab. Instead I can only open a new tab at the very end beside the 50th tab.
    Please add this feature as IE has this. Thank you.

  • Why do I get a "script error" message from Adobe flash player?  It is installed as a part of my browser.IE 11

    Why do I get a "script error"  from flash player when it is not installed separately?  It is part of my browser--IE 11

    Same error message, I disabled tab mix and made sure I only have the newest version of Java, restarted firefox, now it seems to be fine no error yet on Pogo games or pictures upload to ebay which were the biggest problems besides hanging. I had also had disabled AVG secure search yesterday but that did not solve the issue. Now I will try to add back in AVG search...I have very few adds ons, also the note embedded about re- installing a toolbar went away, my old one did not work with FF4, so I installed Yahoo toolbar but the message still did not go away until I applied this fix. Hopes this helps someone..

  • Need help viewing photos on iPad , why is there a small timer in the bottom right corner

    why is there a small timer at the bottom right hand corner of photos that locks up and the photo won't get clear?

    Yes when trying to view photos, on some the timer goes all the way around and you get the clear picture, but on others the timer stalls and you never get the picture to come in clear. I have about 2500 pictures on the pad, don't know if that's too many for it?

    Hi MsSunnyD,
    Try uninstalling Adobe Acrobat using the Adobe cleaner Tool  http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html
    Then, try installing Adobe Reader XI. That should resolve the problem.

  • When I right click to save a picture why doesn't the box come up to choose where to put it?

    When I right click to save a picture why doesn't the box come up to choose where to put it?
    Or if I'm trying to upload a pic to a site say for instance a job site and trying to upload a resume and when I click on the button nothing happens.
    This is very frustrating when I have a lot of time invested on the site I'm on and can't upload.

    Ahh.. :)
    A-Go to upper left corner and select preferences. In general tab,there is an option to ask everytime whenever you are going to put your downloading files.
    B-Update your browser and reset it.Might be you are unable to upload because of viruses too. So make sure to scan your pc by a good antivirus. Okay? :)
    Thank you for asking a question
    Always at your service.

    I updated Firefox and now Realplayer can't download any videos( download button in upper right corner of video don't pop up and there is no download option if I right click) if I use Internet explorer it works fine, I also went in to make sure I had it checked to pop up it is?! So it's not just youtube for me its all videos!

    haven't tried it myself but saw this earlier in a blog somewhere:
    "try retro installing FF v3.6.3",
    makes sense 'cos I've only been experiencing the same problem with mozilla & realplayer combo since updating to latest FF v3.6.4
    noted that under IE realplayer plugin still works fine, button to 'download this video' comes on as before.....
    from what I read retro install will pick up all your bookmarks etc. do no worries there
    naughty, NAUGHTY mozilla people! you were 'bombproof' until today....what happened? good luck sorting it out though!!!! I still luv you!

    Such an error caused by an extension that isn't working properly.

  • RH7 HTML - Receive IE script error message when double-clicking link to auto-size pop-up

    Hi, all,
    Anybody ever seen this situation? When double-clicking on a link to an auto-size pop-up, I get the following Internet Explorer script error message:
    This error also occurs when I double-click the link in preview mode within the project. A colleague that is running the same version of IE with the same settings is not receiving this error. A couple of other co-workers are running a different version of IE, and one gets this error and one does not.
    This error does not occur if you single-click the link (which you would normally do), nor does it occur if you double-click a link to a fixed-size pop-up. Once you receive this message and click Yes or No, the link sometimes works correctly when you double-click. I haven't been able to establish a pattern. Also, if you single click the link to display the pop-up, click off of it, and then double-click the link, the error does not occur.
    As you can tell by now, this problem is kind of hard to pin down. I've done some research and I have yet to stumble upon anything that deals with this issue. Unless there is a solution out there, I can do one of two things: 1) change all of the auto-size pop-ups in the project to fixed-sized, which defeats the purpose of creating auto-size pop-ups, or 2) tell our customer not to double-click links.
    Any advice you could give would be welcome.

    Hi there
    Indeed it has been reported on many occasions over the years. Unless someone like Willam has some way cool error detection magick with the scripts, the best approach we have always offered is this.
    Educate your users on the way computers and HTML works. HTML works using SINGLE clicks, not DOUBLE clicks.
    The reason for the error is because the first click caused the computer to launch a JavaScript command to open the sized popup. The second click that followed in rapid succession confused things by asking the script to stop what it was doing and run again.
    Maybe it would help to explain it to your users like this. If you visited a restaurant and when the server asked what you wanted to order, would the become confused if you said to them: I'll have the T-Bone Steak and nearly immediately you repeated it by saying again I'll have the T-Bone Steak.
    Cheers... Rick

  • On XP SP3 can't run plug-in, get IE script error without running IE, click Yes or No, nothing more happens

    I am running XP SP3 and FF 3.6.18. I have been having trouble opening PDFs in FF but not in other browsers. FF tells me to update my Adobe PDF plug-in. I click in the FF list to update, go through the procedure and when I click on run I get the following message: "Internet Explorer script error," although I am not running IE and I have no other applications open or running other than Avast anti-virus. The pane gives me two options to the question "Do you want to continue running scripts on this page?": Yes or No. After clicking on either, the pane disappears, but nothing further happens. I have then downloaded the plug-in again, but when trying to run it I get the message: "Only a single instance of this application can run." I have tried downloading the plug-in to a different folder but get the same message. I have also turned off Avast with no change in the above. Now no PDFs open in FF. What to do? Thanks.

    Thanks for your response...
    I can wait.  After all, it was by waiting for the release of the 10h version after the 10e version sabotaged my flash installation, that I was eventually able to at least get Firefox up and running flash again...
    It's just frustrating to think that the folks at Adobe can't come up with a better product testing cycle so they are unleashing these problems on end users systems...
    I recognize that there may be some sort of issue with my particular system registry.  If so, I wish I knew what it was...but flash releases are the only installations I ever have any difficulty with...All of the other software I run updates without failing....sad to say...
    Perhaps I will try running a home edition version of secedit (See here)http://support.microsoft.com/kb/313222 instead of the clean or repair install...I'll let you know what I decide and how it works out...
    Anyway, thanks for the input..

  • Why does File send link not work? Even right clicking on my mouse doesn't work. Is there a fix for this?

    Why can I no longer send links to websites? Clicking File>Send Link doesn't work nor does right clicking on the mouse. Both worked prior to Firefox 6. I also can't send emails to websites that don't spell out their address but instead say "to send an email click here". Everything works fine in Chrome and Safari but not in Firefox.

    OK well after first reverting to an older version of firefox to get my right click menu options back I have since discovered one way that works but at a cost.
    By using the addon menu-editor it is possible to move the EMAIL LINK button from the file menu to the (Main Context Menu) ie the "right click menu" BUT you will loose the file menu button as there is no way to clone the button and only move a copy. Bunch of clowns that decided to do this I really don't know what they were thinking. Very VERY stupid move.
    Here is a link to the only option that works https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/menu-editor/
    Can you fellows/chaps <!--buggers--> at least provide a clone and move option in the menu-editor?

    just noticed this today, what does it mean?
    http://www.flickr.com/photos/60782625@N08/5681554895/
    when i click on it it says " the item can not be found" what item?
    thanks for your help.

    This just happened to me. Help.
    There was a mounted disk image on the desktop. I used to command-drag these to the drive so that it would copy as a whole folder. I just did that in Mountain Lion. But a folder was nowhere to be found. I forgot about it and just ejected the disk image.
    Now I see there is a question mark at the right of every Finder window. I can't seem to remove it.
    EDIT: I googled for the answer and found it. It can be removed by first right-clicking to "Customize Toolbar". Then drag it off and poof..

  • BW Error on Portal, Right Click gets (Internet Explorer) Menu

    Hi Experts,
    Our Netweaver Portal is 2004s. There is BW system also in the landscape whose reports are fetched and displayed on the portal. I get the errors when I navigate to (Role) -> GroupReports (Workset) -> Cockpit - > Customer Projects -> Plan Cost Quality -> Market Unit.
    Now when I click on Market Unit (in detailed Navigation), its generates a Chart (Image) in the content Area which has many Market Units on the screen. From the list of Market Units in this Image I select any Market unit then Right Click on "Market Unit"- >GoTo-> Projects : Plan Cost Quality by Company. (This right Click gets me BW TYPE of options for DrillDown etc).
    It processes and gets me the Name of the Market unit in the NAVIGATION BLOCK. In this Navigation Block, if I right Click on "BUYING CUSTOMER", it gets me a Internet Explorer (Right Click) Menu (with options like OPEN, OPEN IN NEW WINDOW, SAVE TARGET AS..., PRINT TARGET etc ) and not a BW iView Menu that allows me facilities like DRILL DOWN etc.
    There are these JAVA SCRIPT ERRORS at the bottom of the browser (left Side - with a message "Done but with errors on page"), when this page is loading after I do Right Click on Market Unit"- >GoTo-> Projects : Plan Cost Quality by Company.
    Following are the Java Script Errors in order of NEXT:
    1. 'SAPBWJSgdo' is null or not an object
    2. Permission Denied.
    Plz suggest what needs to be done to resolve this issue.
