How can I stop unresponsive scripts? The browser and gives me the message that there is an unresponsive several times an hour. I need to be able to do something that doesn't require me to be a computer whiz to do it. Thanks.

I get this message when browsing to various websites, not a particular one, and the scripts are different each time, sometimes referring to that particular website and sometimes seemingly referring to a process. This has happened on two different computers now, and seems to be happening with increasing frequency. e.g. if I am on Pandora internet radio site, the music stops, and it takes several minutes for the nonresponsive script message to pop up and sometimes it refers to pandora and sometimes it refers to another website I am also on or a particular process.

Start Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
