TypeError: attempt to run compile-and-go script on a cleared scope

Above error message appears when moving between pictures - forward and backward. Clicking OK button removes the error message and there is no other apparent problem. The Window that comes up does reference a JAVA Script Application (I assume FIREFOX is the application???)

thanks. That was the problem -an extension didn't work. I had just added some and went back and took off several. Worked after that.

OT

Nov 16 - Firefox Help is now answering my "That Fixed the Problem" answer and sending it to me direct, but my answer was "it was resolved". Not sure if there is a problem here now?

Unfortunately, clicking the 'OK' button doesn't remove the error message for me. It just keeps coming back again and again. And every time I click forward or backwards to view photos in Flickr it reappears. It's driving me nuts. Please can we have a solution asap. Tx,
