Problems with Firefox

A while ago I installed Firefox 4.0 beta, recently however instead of
opening, after many clicks and the egg timer appearing for several seconds,
I've been getting a box with the message... 'A script on this page may be
busy, or it may have stopped responding. You can top the script now, or you
can continue to see if the script will complete.
Script:chrome://tavgp/content/libs/include.js:595'... after getting rid of
this message, sometimes after a protracted period the browser appears as
normal, I have upgraded to Firefox 5 but the problem still persists,
switching to Internet Explorer 9 everything works OK, should I simply use
this as the default browser, or is there a cure for the aforementioned
problem?
Also before this happened there was also an annoying problem of no matter
how many times I clicked to open the browser there was absolutely 'no
apparent response' whatsoever, then suddenly I would be confronted by around
ten browser windows in the taskbar!
TIA Rick.

Since Firefox is not a Microsoft application, or a part of Windows, you will
probably find better support here:

Ever try disabling or uninstalling all extensions you installed for
Firefox and running it clean to retest if the problem continues? If
getting rid of the extensions doesn't help, see if disabling your
anti-virus or other security software that interrogates your web traffic
eliminates the hangups.

BTW, the Mozilla newsgroups are ...

thatta way ---> mozilla.*

If your NNTP server doesn't carry them, connect your NNTP client to
Mozilla's newsserver (news.mozilla.org). The folks in the mozilla.*
newsgroups are more focused on those products. It would probably help
if you provided an example page where the scripting there apparently
gets stuck in a tight loop which whacks CPU usage up high and renders
the web browser unusable until a timeout.

Thanks, I tried the link that SC Tom gave and got no response at all, that
was the final straw, I uninstalled Mozilla from CC cleaner and set up IE 9
as my default browser, now browsing is lightning fast and I don't think
it's my imagination that everything else appears to be speedier as well,
seems a pity, as I've been using Firefox now for a number of years without
problems.

Start by disabling all extensions. If that doesn't help, your profile
might be corrupt. Create a brand new one, and if that works, migrate
your bookmarks and such over to the new profile, and reinstall your
most needed extensions.

This isn't a Windows issue, so it's off topic... but you know that
already.

I can see mention of your problem here.

https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/796180

"one of your addons (possibly the AVG Security Toolbar addon) might be
incompatible with Firefox 4. Try disabling the addon. You might have
to open Firefox in Safe Mode in order to do so"

"Per http://www.avg.com/us-en/avg-release-notes#tba1 AVG added
Firefox 4 support recently on AVG Internet Security 2011.1191
Please verify you have that or a more recent"

http://www.avg.com/us-en/avg-release-notes#tba1

"Program update AVG Internet Security 2011.1191

Fixes & Improvements

Safe Search: Added support for Firefox v4"

That doesn't guarantee a fix, but at least it's consistent with the
"tavgp" part of the busted script path. There might be a difference
in behavior, between Firefox4 beta and Firefox4 release versions.

Hi Rick,

Paul has a good point. If you were to dump your old profile (see
my earlier posting), the above add ons will go bye bye.

An easy way to figure it out is to start Firefox in safe mode:

<win><r> firefox --safe-mode

That way you can see what happens without your add ons before doing
anything drastic. Then you can remove your add ons one at a time.
But it is easier to dump your old profile and start over clean.

As I recall, uninstalling Firefox does NOT also uninstall all the
extensions you installed for Firefox. You'll have to uninstall all
those extensions, too.

No one works at the forums or newsgroups. No one has to answer your
question when it first appears or ever. No one is going to lose their
"job" in not answering your post. You can only post and HOPE someone
decides to answer. It certainly appears you weren't willing to wait for
someone to choose to read your post and then also choose to respond to
it. You only waited LESS THAN 48 MINUTES. That's nothing. If you
don't get a response in a few DAYS then you might want to repost. It
almost appears that you already made a decision and really didn't want a
resolution since you didn't wait hardly at all for a response. Since
many folks wander through a newsgroup once per day, you might not have
gotten another response from them until after 24 hours, a lot longer
than three-quarters of an hour. Also, Tom showed you how to get at the
web-based forums. I showed you how to access the Mozilla *newsgroups*
(aka Usenet).

You didn't resolve the problem. Likely what you did for installing
extensions to Firefox will reappear when you decide to install add-ons
to Internet Explorer.

Hi Rick,

Vanguard is correct. Uninstalling Firefox does not uninstall
your extension or your add ons. They are in your profile. You
have to rename your profile to dump them all. Your profile is
in appdata/roaming.
