Every time I logon to www.curse.com or move from page to page an error box appears saying that a script on the page has stopped working. The box gives me a choice to "Continue" or "Stop" the script. I I choose "Continue", FireFox crashes and a box asking me to describe what I was doing appears. If I choose "Stop", the script apparently stops and I am able to peruse the page I am on. Problem reoccurs when I go to a subsequent page. Problem occurs when I try to logout of www.curse.com. The problem does not occur at all if I use Internet Explorer 8.0.6001.18702IS, the version of Internet Explorer installed on my PC. My PC is a Windows XP Home SP3 PC. It is running a 32-bit version of Windows. Seems odd that an ancient version of Internet Explorer has no problems with a webpage but an up-to-date version of FireFox has "HE double L" with it.

Well, Curse-Gaming apparently found and corrected the problem because today I am having no problem with scripts anywhere on their site. I figure some "MS" fan was trying to get a "Bite" from FireFox users. He/She got one from me.
