Default FF often shows "Unresponsive script" warning message - please help

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 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.

Thanks for the links.


The Error Console shows a bunch of warnings like ...

Warning: Error in parsing value for property 'display'. Declaration dropped.
Source File: http://mail.google.com/mail/?ui=2&vi...=1qygpcgurkovy
Line: 0


Regarding Adblock Plus v0.7.5.5 ...

[1] Go into your Adblock Plus preferences (Tools / Adblock Plus / Preferences)
[2] Deselect "Check DIV Elements" from Adblock Options.
[3] Click "Done." Effective immediately, the scripting issue will terminate.

My Adblock Plus installation does not have "Check DIV Elements"

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.

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.

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.

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.
