Script Busy or Not Responding: Script: chrome://vidbar/content/downloader.js:98
Over the last few days (starting about 9/15/11), I keep getting the following error message:
"A script on this page may be busy, or it may have stopped responding. You can stop the script now, or you can continue to see if the script will complete. Script: chrome://vidbar/content/downloader.js:98"
Sometimes clicking on continue or stop resolves the problem. At other times, Firefox stops responding at all.
Sometimes doing a restart ends the problem, sometimes a complete shutdown of Windows XP is needed. But even after a complete shutdown, the error seems to eventually recur.

This issue is caused by an extension that isn't working properly.
Start Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
- Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

I tracked my problem down to the "download YouTube video toolbar" I took it out (uninstalled) and reloaded the browser no more problem. Except I don't have the downloader untill I find an extension or plugin that does not cause a Java Script conflict. Like another forum user this only started with myself round about mid december after uninstalling and re installing Cometbird (my version of firefox) just to get rid of that problem.
I wonder how many people out there with this problem also have the download youtube video toolbar, version 8?
