All, whenever I search google from my office computer I get an "unresponsive script" warning during results of the search.
I've seen that warning in Firefox when client-side Javascript is bogging down on a slow computer. I checked - Google does use client side scripting. Weird.
Is it a slow computer, and/or one with limited memory?
Dunno what can be done....
hmm. let me restart. thanks.
the restart did not work. I cannot figure out what the problem is. I use google so often that this error is actually disabling my ability to surf. No problems on my home computer at all. I guess I may need to disable all extensions when I go back to work and start over.
le nubian, I was having a lot of trouble with firefox freezing, most especially with Google. I did some checking and it is a known bug that is caused by some add-ons. I deleted most of my add-ons and am having much less trouble.
There's an about:config tweak for the "Unresponsive script" thing. [link]
Basically the default value for how long Firefox will wait around for a script to finish just times out too quickly. I run into it a lot during threadsucks.
Here are some other good tweaks: [link]
thanks! I read that site all the time and didn't think to search the site for this.
To be proper, the Google search sheet referred to above should be printed 2-up on a mimeograph machine.
t sniffs Mmmm-ahhh.
Ooh! Found at Lifehacker, Free Direct Audio Converter and CD Ripper software at Giveaway of the Day (today only). [link]
I'm a little embarassed to ask, but....how is that software different from iTunes?
Don't mock me.
