I get a message quite frequently, like every time I'm on the computer, that says Warning-unresponsive script and I can click continue if I want. Also Firefox is unresponsive quite often. A quick visit on the computer turns into an hour long event.

Start Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).

See Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems and Troubleshoot issues with plugins like Flash or Java to fix common Firefox problems

Your above posted system details show outdated plugin(s) with known security and stability risks.

  • Shockwave Flash 10.0 r45
  • Java Plug-in 1.4.2_03 for Netscape Navigator (DLL Helper)

Update the Java plugin to the latest version.

Update the Flash plugin to the latest version.
