I upgraded Firefox to 5.0. Now, every time I try to open the browser, it hangs up and then gives me an unresponsive script error. How do I make it stop?

See: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Unresponsive_Script_Warning

Bear in mind that Firefox 5.0 is still in BETA, so there are bound to be problems with it still.

So do your bit and report the issue using the Feedback option. The full candidate is slated for release on June 21.
