Since the last update, every time, literally every time I use Firefox, it freezes and then a message window pops up referring to unresponsive script and asking to "Continue", "Debug" or "Stop". Whatever is selected and nothing works. I have tried refreshing and that doesn't help at all. To get out of Firefox I have to end the task via the Task Manager. Shortly after starting it again, again it freezes. Firefox used to be my primary browser, but I am at the point of removing it from the machine and never using it again. Help

Hi, please see if anything here helps: Warning Unresponsive script - What it means and how to fix it

If that doesn't help try temporarily disabling your add-ons - Add-ons Manager (Ctrl+Shift+A) > Extensions.

Note, you have more than one version of Shockwave Flash - which can cause problems, so all but the latest should be removed -

If your question is resolved by this or another answer, please take a minute to let us know. Thank you.
