Annoying Script

kismet — Sun, 13 Dec 2015 03:16:18 GMT

I've been getting the following message on my computer especially when I'm on QVC. Can anyone tell me how to get rid of it permanently? It comes up in a box. I noticed one day when QVC was selling a computer the host clicked on QVC and the same thing came up. Thanks.

A script on this page may be busy, or it may have stopped responding. You can stop the script now, open the script in the debugger, or let the script continue.

Are you using IE? Under the Advanced tab of Internet Options, try unchecking the box for "Display a notification about every script error."

Ive been getting this on Firefox, & the browser ends up freezing. I havent been able to correct it, so I, too, would appreciate any wisdom on this. In the case of FF, I think it might have something to do with its interaction (or lack of) with java.

@sum1nu, For the Firefox browser, take a look at this support page:

"Warning Unresponsive script - What it means and how to fix it" at https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/warning-unresponsive-script.

It's likely if you'll install the addon/extension they recommend, YesScript, (link: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/yesscript/) or another one which is a little more complex called "NoScript" (link: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/noscript/?src=search), you'll find the error goes away.

hth!

Thanks for the quick reply, doo. I changed to allow the script to run longer, but will hold off on the addon/extension. Im not sure if a specific website, since I am encountering the problem at work (also Firefox) also. We'll see how this works

You're welcome, @sum1nu! I'm not here as much as I used to be, but I just happened to be reading when you added your post. Best of luck to you! Usually where there's a will there's a way if all of us here put our heads together!
