when I run CLEAR HISTORY, i get this error....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://browser/content/sanitize.js:136
"continue script" reply works only sometimes. I usually have to opt for STOP SCRIPT.
Problem does occur other times, but not as consistently as w/ Clear Hist

That can be caused by clearing the cookies via "Clear Recent History".
- https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Clear+Recent+History
- Firefox/Tools > Options > Privacy > Firefox will: "Use custom settings for history" > [X] Clear history when Firefox closes > Settings
- Firefox > History > Clear Recent History or Tools > Clear Recent History
If you use "Clear Recent History" to clear the cookies then Firefox also tries to clear the cookies from plugins like Flash (LSO) and starts a plugin-container process for each plugin and that can add extra time and can cause an unresponsive script error to appear. Make sure that all plugins are up to date.
Try to exclude the cookies to see if that helps. Let all cookies expire when you close Firefox to remove unwanted cookies and keep the ones with an allow exception. Make sure that you do not clear the "Site Preferences" as that will remove all exceptions.
