constant script errors and non-responsive
I receive constant script errors and non-responsive errors using Firefox, as do many of my friends. I am using Facebook and Mafia Wars by Zynga
Here is an example of one:
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: http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=508888121:7
I have tried the instructions on this page http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Warning+Unresponsive+script?s=script+errors&as=s
however, I get an error message when I try to access Config and enter: Navigation to the webpage was cancelled
Please help fix this or I'm going to have to use a different browser and I like Firefox better than the other options.
Thank you.

Hi Krissykk,
This is something that seems to be quite common. I've suffered it before but don't seem to anymore. Try these things:

1.Click on Help Menu in Firefox.
2.Select “restart with add-ons disabled”
3.Firefox would start in safe mode.
4.Again click Help and select Restart with Add-ons Disabled
5.Press Continue
Turn Off Hardware Acceleration:
Firefox may crash or become unresponsive when using hardware acceleration. Turn off hardware acceleration to see if it fixes the problem.
1.Click on Tools | Options | Advanced panel
2.Click on General tab | Uncheck Hardware acceleration when available
3.Exit and start Firefox normally.
Check Extension Settings:

1.Click on Tools menu | Add-ons

Thank you Jeff for your response. However, that question is 1 year old and I no longer have that problem. I hope that your answer will help others.
