While playing games my screen freezes up and a message pops up that says there's a script running which can slow down or stop my browser. Then it asks if I want to stop script or continue. I always click stop script, but it continues to happen periodically. (This is happening in Facebook, and sometimes MySpace).

Start Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

cor-el, thank you for your quick response to my problem. I've done what you suggested, and as soon as I test these changes out, I will let you know if I see an improvement.

Thanks...
