"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. Script: chrome://browser/content/sanitize.js:133"

Using Win 7 Ult SP1, Firefox 6.0.1.

That can happen if you clear the cookies via Clear Recent History.
Firefox 6 also tries to clear the cookies created by plugins and open a plugin-container for each plugin.
Try to exclude the cookies to see if that help.

This worked for me. I've tried it three or four times now, in the last 90 minutes or so, and I haven't received an error message again. Thank you very much!
