If the writers of Noscript could enable me to block a specific script, it may help (the Add-on Refreshblocker 0.8 is useless for this). Noscript would be the best Add-on, but it's not too versatile. Using legacy browsers maybe solve some of the problems, but I think it's the script writers causing the problems. If the sites were written in HTML5, I believe the problems would go away. This is done to allow sharing between sites like Facebook and others. The scripts go between the websites that you visit and talk to each other tracking your browsing (apps). The problem, I believe, is conflicting script between websites, in particular FACEBOOK and GOOGLE. I upgraded to 4 gig, run Fedora 18, and I'm getting the scripts errors still. Most folks would probably check that first (I'm not very computer savvy), but just in case it helps someone else. I didn't change anything else at the time the problem went away, so the RAM was definitely the issue.

It's been a few weeks and I haven't had a single "unresponsive script error". I upgraded to 4GB RAM from the 1GB I had, and poof - entire problem solved.

This is an inherited machine, and while I was faithfully cleaning it up and upgrading software and security features as necessary, I didn't think to look at the hardware. So far I haven't seen the fix that worked for me, so I thought I would add it here. My computer was almost useless if I had Mozilla open because of constant "unresponsive script" errors and the hangups associated with them.

In fact, some (like updating to most recent version) made things worse. I read many posts on many forums for possible fixes, and I tried many of them.
