I can access my facebook account with no trouble, but once facebook is loaded I repeatedly get an error message; syntax error. The words 'Java Script application' are in the bar across the top of the message. It comes up many times and completely disrupts what I am doing. I am wondering if ot has something to do with the adverts in the side bar of each page that I open in facebook. If I open FB from Google Chrome I don't get that problem, or in Explorer, but I would rather use Firefox. Help would be apprecitaed, please. Thanks.

hello, first of all please update firefox to the latest version. the errors you're getting are likely coming from the socialfixer addon that you've installed - there's also an updated version of the extension available which fixes these kind of issues: http://socialfixer.com/blog/category/releasenotes/
