I keep getting the following script error message when on Facebook: A script on this page may be busy, or it may have stopped responding. You can stop the script now, open the script in the debugger, or let the script continue.

Script: resource://gre/modules/addons/XPIProvider.jsm -> jar:file:///C:/Program%20Files%20(x86)/Mozilla%20Firefox/browser/extensions/%7B82AF8DCA-6DE9-405D-BD5E-43525BDAD38A%7D.xpi!/bootstrap.js -> resource://gre/modules/commonjs/toolkit/loader.js -> resource://gre/modules/commonjs/sdk/loader/sandbox.js -> resource://skype_ff_extension-at-jetpack/skype_ff_extension/data/jquery-2.1.0.min.js:26

What do I do to correct the error referred to in this message?

Scripts are running on background when you clicks on any website to open them. They are process the data by executing themselves. In this case same thing happens . A Script Might be busy is the generally shown as a message window. So,let them continue untill unless they are executed fully. Type about:config into url and click yes when prompting "Next time,I will be careful" . Now type dom.max_script_run_time and change its integer value to 20 . PS: you can reset it anytime by doing the same except changing value to Reset.

Else you can Stop the script from running which cause not properly loading of page.

if this happens only with Facebook then Install YesScript after that restart Firefox.

type about:addons in url box and press Enter. here in addon tab open YesScript and add an entry into its YesScript Blacklist by typing the url of Facebook. This will add them in blacklist of running script and they are no longer to run.

It looks like you are having trouble with the Skype program.

That is a problem with an extension that has this ID (likely a Skype extension):

  • {82AF8DCA-6DE9-405D-BD5E-43525BDAD38A}

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

  • Switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance
  • Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window
