When I am using Firefox, I consistently get this script box, " Warning: Unresponsive Script: A script on this page may be busy, or it may have stopped responding. You can stop the script now, or you can continue to see if the script will complete". Then it shows buttons for "stop script" and one for "continue". It does the same thing whether I click on stop script or whether I click on continue. It keeps coming back. I have tried rebooting. That doesn't help. I have an eBay store, and while I am managing my store, it does it all the time. So far while writing this, it hasn't happened. Any ideas as to what I can try next? Thanks

Actually, I have three problems, but dealing with them one at-a-time! lol I had started a "new topic" concerning my second problem. You helped me with the first problem, and that one has been taken care of, thank you again for your help with that one! I am NOT having any more problems with the Siteadv problem. Any ideas on what to do with the script problem? I am finding that my problem only happens while I am on firefox and when I am managing my ebay store. I tried it while on Internet Explorer and in my ebay store, and the script box does not appear. I like working with firefox more than with IE, that's why I am trying to fix this annoying problem. Any ideas? Thanks again for your help.

Not like you do, but some to get around with, then I come to YOU for the BIGGER problems the information you gave me wasn't enough for me to understand. Where the "Letting the script run longer" is at, it mentions typing "about:config" in the location bar and press enter. Okay, what "location bar" are they talking about? I feel really dumb here, but I had no idea what they were meaning. BTW, the only place where I am getting these unresponsive scripts is within my ebay store, and only within my "selling listings", no where else. Not in my "sold listings" and not in my "watching listings", and no where else in ebay. I will try this again if you can tell me what they mean by "location bar". Thanks again

The problem was only in my ebay store, and only when I was within my "selling" listings. I tried it within those listings. Some of them it worked and others it did not. Strange. I left thme as is. I did not change it back to the default numbers. Is that okay to do? I'll just keep clicking the script box. If there is anything else I can do, please let me know. Thanks again

I have already tried it while in internet explorer. It does not happen while in there, only with firefox. I like working in firefox. To me, it seems much better. Thanks.
