Firefox has crashed numerous times on me tonight, and I keep getting an unresponsive script error (Script: chrome://devany/content/main.js:254) regardless of what website I'm on. NoScript will not block this script, and it's popping up with an increasing and alarming frequency. It's completely crippled my Firefox, and getting the a large enough window between unresponsive script warnings to get the Troubleshooting Information from Firefox took me a good 20 minutes. It's a very persistent script. I've already re-installed Firefox and restarted my computer, and scanned for viruses/malware. I'm on a Mac, if it makes a difference.

This happened

Every time Firefox opened

Tonight. I can't say what site I was on, though I first noticed it on DeviantArt and thought it was their new layout producing problems.

And I heartily apologize for posting a link to that script. I was thinking of being complete. I wouldn't wish it on anybody. D=

Do you have the DeviantAnywhere Add on? I had to disable that add on by using Firefox in safe mode and now it's working for me.

Thanks to your comment about Deviantart I thought that might be the problem!

Thanks so much, Irrel! That's exactly what it was! I warned a few friends about this glitch, too, so that they wouldn't log in and encounter it. I never would have thought that that was the problem, even though it seems logical.

yay, I had this same issue, and I too browsed deviantArt and also have got Deviantanywhere add-on installed. : D

I'm so glad that You've found a solution and shared it with us. I was really getting worried that I'd done something to get malware installed on my 'puter. *Phew* !!

I'm going to disable DeviantAnywhere after I post this and hopefully this will be fixed for me too!


I actually hadn't kept my firefox up to date. but.. *shh...* I updated it and after I did, it told me that there was a script running that was not responding. : )

yay for FireFox~
