Lolu chungechunge lwabekwa kunqolobane. Uyacelwa ubuze umbuzo omusha uma udinga usizo.

At various websites, I am constantly getting a "Stop Script..." error message. From that point I have to use the task manager to close firefox. Why????!!!!

I realize that websites now have a whole lot of extraneous stuff running, but this is getting ridiculous. This is a powerful pc with a fresh install of windows 7. These damn "stop script" messages are ruining my browsing experience. It gives me two choices, continue or stop, but neither works. I can't get rid of the error message and I can't close firefox. I can't do anything except call up the task manager and end the program. The last time, even after that, the damn website was still playing in the background after firefox had closed, and I had to force a restart on the computer.

Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problem.

See "Creating a profile":

If the new profile works then you can transfer files from a previously used profile to the new profile, but be cautious not to copy corrupted files to avoid carrying over the problem
