Using Firefox 2.0.0.16, I keep getting the following warning message ...

 

"Warning: Unresponsive script

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."

 

for websites like http://www.rei.com and others.

 

What can be done to work around this?

I had the same with AVG 8 internet site protection.

AVG installed an add-on without asking permission.

I disabled the add-on and the problem went away.

As far as anti-virus software goes, I have Norton AV (not AVG),

which comes with Norton SystemWorks. If the problem is related to

anti-virus software, I've had Norton AV for a long time. But,

this warning message keeps popping up only within the last few days.

It is making my system annoyingly sluggish.

This problem occurs only with FF (not IE). The problem occurs with

mail.google.com as well.

Re: FF often shows "Unresponsive script" warning message - please help

 

Extensions are great in theory but in practice the system is a little

unwieldy and out of control. Kind of reminds me of Microsoft and their

eternal cross platform compatibility headaches that defy a solution until

one OS is put out to pasture, although the folks at Mozilla would never

admit that.

 

If you are up to it, one thing you can do, which I find simpler than

detective work, is to create a new profile and install your extensions from

scratch one by one. There are certain files you can just copy in to regain

the original GUI but that may be where the problem is so it's best to create

it all anew, except for bookmarks.

 

The problem is that before too long you are likely to experience the same

problem you have now, or a parallel problem, often something javascript

related. It's like cutting the grass.

Re: FF often shows "Unresponsive script" warning message - please help

 

I recently went through this process already.

I removed as many extensions as possible leaving

just the bare necessities. I replaced the

older version of Adblock with Adblock Plus.

 

I'm wondering if the problem could be due to

the system being low on resources.

The FF has a built in check of unresponsive javascripts which can be caused by

other applications that adds more scripts to the web page and sure a

unresponsive environment which tries to run a bit heavy javascript could

trigger the event.

 

 

By the selection of newsgroups, I assume you are using microsoft 98 and it

feels most likely that you do use a computer that ain't too new, could be good

to remove parts of the dos extension to make it more responsive with 98lite.

 

http://www.litepc.com/98lite.html

 

 

PS. Please don't top post, it's rude and it's more difficult to know what you

are replying to, cut out all the crap you don't reply to and write your reply

under the section to which you reply.

Re: FF often shows "Unresponsive script" warning message - please help

 

It's not really a question of removing the extensions. I use SeaMonkey

browser, so where I go in the program to customize it and select preferences

is sometimes different than in FF. But with either you can create a new

profile. When you do that you will be presented with the default set-up and

no user-added enhancements. If you still have your current problem with that

set-up, then the corruption is in the install directory and will be hard

(and probably inadvisable) to fix. If there is no problem you can then

install your extensions and themes one by one, and if want you can keep

testing between extension installations to verify things are still

copasetic.

 

mozilla.support.firefox is the best place to post for FF problems. They know

their stuff.

That is a Mozilla mantra (that flies in the face of common sense). I know

from experience they've forgotten why they defend it.

 

Varies from group to group. Let the moderator make that call.

This interrupts (delays) loading the software and appears

to be caused by keyboard action while loading the app for

the firist time (not or not only by AV TSR software.) It is a

known bug described on the Mozilla web,

 

It was cured here (in a WinXP PC) by wholly removing

Firefox from Registry (additional to uninstalling), then

installing from Mozilla.

There is no moderator, not here, anyway. If there was, top-posting would

rule and crackpots like Jo Mama would be told to take his crackpots,

Re: FF often shows "Unresponsive script" warning message - please help

 

You mean I've been on good behavior all this time for nothing? GEEEEESH!! (I

figured if you can't post a screenshot, then somebody somewhere is running

the show).

 

But seriously, I just read that Microsoft is dipatching hundreds of "Windows

Vista Gurus" to Best Buys all around the country to try to coax people back

into the laptop aisle. Why can't they just do this for Windows 98 and bury

this top post-bottom post debate once and for all?

Don, just an FYI for you, at my work it was with Internet Explorer that the

scripts became unresponsive on my end.
