To Host-"Slow script" message on overlong thread

To Host,
I've been following this overlong thread "Network Preference Pane gone berserk..."
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1712387&tstart=0
and getting a "slow script" message two or three times using Safari, and need to keep clicking on the "continue" button before it will load completely. Very slow with Firefox also, but without the message.
I don't know if it's me or the server in this situation, but would it help, perhaps, to break it up into pages to eliminate this problem? I thought that was what was usually done with such long threads.
Also- to hosts- as you must have seen, there have been numerous reports concerning this particular problem with Security Updates 2008-006/7. I know this is a user to user forum and that your job is not to reply to technical issues, but I've been told that Apple technical does monitor these forums. Do you have any way of knowing if Apple is going to take some action in the form of an official announcement or a response of some kind?
Thanks.

Why app memory message pop up?

When I tried to download a huge file in Safari but also later with a small file I got that message!
Watching videos in Youtube did not bring the pop up but the computer often freezes for a couple of seconds!
I have a 2013 MacBook Air 13"

Not memory. File sizes refer to storage space. There's a difference.
Click your Apple menu  top left in your screen. From the drop down menu click About This Mac > More Info > Storage
Make sure there's at least 15% free disk space.

Why do I keep getting this "Slow Script" error?

Everytime I go to a certain website Safari freezes for about 15 seconds and then displays this odd looking "Slow Script" error message and it says Safari is not responding and asks if I want to continue or cancel. If I continue the webpage runs slowly and may do it if I'm on the page for too long but it still lets me surf it without too much troble. If I cancel the page is frozen and I cannot continue but I can visit another website and continue using Safari normally. Is there any way I can stop these nuisances from popping up and affecting my web surfing? Have you encountered this problem before?

"Slow Scripts" are just that. Slow to load javascript files.
Why they are slow to load is something only the authors of the scripts can determine.

I have no trouble with the URL above. I have a "high speed" connection.
You can use the Safari Activity window to view the page elements. You'll see the URL and file size and a note (in red) about the slow script message.

Can Slow Script be stopped??? Please help!

Hi,
Can "Slow Script" be stopped? If so, how? It happens all the time on Twitter. Someone recommended clearing out the Twitter cookies, then restart Safari, which only works until I go on Twitter again. Then the cookies return and it is repeat cycle! There's no way to contact Twitter about this. Please help. This is exasperating.
Thanks.

Thank you for coming through for me again, Bee! I really appreciate it. Yes, your suggestion worked.
I think Twitter itself has a slowness problem, though, because even with the "Slow Script" message issue removed, Twitter still takes forever to search. I finally found a way to contact Twitter about this. They said it might be my system or speed, but I reassured them it was not, and they said they'd look into it on their end. Cross your fingers for me that Twitter fixes this glitch, won't you?
Thank you again,
Kcat

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?]]

A warning message pops and disappears very quickly! Why?

Hey guys, im using a mac book pro 10.8.3. i7, 8gb ram, 2.3Ghz. I use this laptop mainly for producing music on a software called Ableton Live. I also have an audio interface connected to my laptop to avoid latency. The audio inter face is called 'Traktor Audio 2'.
Recently when im on the laptop a warning message pops and goes aways to quickly to even read what it is. Also if there is any sort of connection, my logitech mouse has also started to act weird. Whenever i click a single time it double clicks sometimes and sometimes it is normal. i don't understand why either. i did some research on this topic and people said to open up your console and check. I dont understand what it means so i've attached a pic down here. Please help me solve this problem!

If the built-in firewall is active, deactivate it and see whether the alerts stop.

Since I downloaded version 4 of Firefox, I'm having the following problems: Extremely slow at loading all web sites, can't view PDF files from web sites, and lots of unresponsive script messages. How can I fix this?

I get message "slow Script" what does it mean

why does slow script keep comming up all the time

Dana --
In the main pull down menu for Safari Preferences, go to "Advanced." Then down at the bottom of that pane, click on "Show Develop Menu." Then go back to your regular screen, click on the new "Develop" pull down in the Safari menu bar, and click on "Disable Runaway JavaScript Timer." (Starman's post was from 2007, and that setting is now much accessible.)
