I frequently get this message when trying to view a broadcast. A web page is slowing down your browser and what would you like to do stop it or wait. When this happens, I open the taskbar to see what page is slowing my browser down and the taskbar says it is my Firefox. Obviously, I cannot delete the firefox page from the task bar as it will knock me offline completely. How do I correct this annoying and frustrating problem that I frequently get?

”Webpage is slowing down your browser” This is the new way the browser tells you there is a problem with the script program(s). https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/warning-unresponsive-script?cache=no

Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions ("3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Add-ons -> Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.

  • switch to the DEFAULT theme: "3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Add-ons -> Themes
  • do NOT click the "Refresh Firefox" button on the Safe Mode start window
