Greetings,

I sometimes get this error:

Warning: unresponsive script A script on this page may be busy, or it may have stopped responding. You can stop the script now, open the script in the debugger, or let the script continue. Script: chrome://browser/content/browser.js:1738

How can I find out what tab this is for?

The dialog box sometimes appears in the top left of the desktop, outside of the Firefox window.

Thanks, Eve

Another common cause of unresponsive script errors on Windows 7-10 is the protected mode feature of the Flash player plugin. That feature has security benefits, but seems to have serious compatibility issues on some systems. You can disable it using the Add-ons page. Either:

  • Ctrl+Shift+a
  • "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons

In the left column, click Plugins. On the right side, find "Shockwave Flash" and click the More link. Then uncheck the box for "Enable Adobe Flash protected mode" and try that for a day to see whether it helps.

Note that Firefox uses the "chrome://" protocol to access its own internal files and also access files from extensions (no relation with Google Chrome).

In your case:

  • view-source:chrome://browser/content/browser.js

Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions ("3-bar" menu button/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.

  • Switch to the DEFAULT theme: "3-bar" menu button/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance
  • Do NOT click the "Refresh Firefox" button on the Safe Mode start window

There are scripts within Firefox. But also scripts from add-ons, other programs on your system (plugins), or even from the website you are accessing.
