FF locked up with dialog box open saying "Warning: Unresponsive Script"

I can't do anything on FF and can't quit it. If I need to uninstall and reinstall, how do I save my bookmarks? Thanks for any help you can give me, Ann

Note: If you send me help info, don't use FF! I can't receive it there. Have Safari up right now.

Does the message say what script? Did you get any crash warnings from Firefox?

Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web link} While you are in safe mode;

Type about:preferences<Enter> in the address bar

Select Advanced > General. Look for and turn off Use Hardware Acceleration.

Poke around safe web sites. Are there any problems?

Then restart.
