Script on Mozilla Firefox

posted by Scot McKnight | 5:00pm Friday February 6, 2009

Here’s a weird one that I’m thinking someone in our community can discern. We have an Apple AirPort in our basement to distribute a wifi signal in our home. Kris and I both have MacBooks that we use upstairs. We both use Mozilla Firefox. BUT, when I try to use Firefox in the basement on either my old Powerbook G4 Notebook or on my new iMac, on some websites — including Beliefnet — it says that there is a script that mozilla does not recognize (or something like that) and it could make the computer real slow and it asks if I’d to abort the script. I always click that and then, as long as I stay on that page, it works fine. But, if I change one page, back comes the dialogue box. (1) What is this about and (2) why only in the basement?

Our Common Prayerbook 30 - 3
Psalm 30 thanks God (vv. 1-3, 11-12) and exhorts others to thank God (vv. 4-5). Both emerge from the concrete reality of David's own experience. Here is what that experience looks like:Step one: David was set on high and was flourishing at the hand of God's bounty (v. 7a).Step two: David became too

Theology After Darwin 1 (RJS)
One of the more important and more difficult pieces of the puzzle as we feel our way forward at the interface of science and faith is the theological implications of discoveries in modern science. A comment on my post Evolution in the Key of D: Deity or Deism noted: ...this reminds me of why I get a

Almost Christian 4
Who does well when it comes to passing on the faith to the youth? Studies show two groups do really well: conservative Protestants and Mormons; two groups that don't do well are mainline Protestants and Roman Catholics. Kenda Dean's new book is called Almost Christian: What the Faith of Ou

Let's Get Neanderthal!
The Cave Man Diet, or Paleo Diet, is getting attention. (Nothing is said about Culver's at all.) The big omission, I have to admit, is that those folks were hunters -- using spears or smacking some rabbit upside the conk or grabbing a fish or two with their hands ... but that's what makes this diet

Scot: are all versions of Firefox on each computer the same? I think the fact that it’s only happening in the basement is coincidence, more likely due to the different computer setups. That’d be my guess, anyway.

just wondering do you have the auto update checked in your preferences? i’d check and see if you need to do a little upgrade to your firefox on those two computers…
the other thing to try is using the opera browser (c:

I have a PowerBook G4 with OS 10.2.8 and Firefox 2.0.0.20
Unfortunately, these versions cannot be updated to any higher releases on the PowerBook G4.
I too have seen the script error when pulling up your blog Scot.
However, I can’t reproduce it right now – not sure why…
I’ll try again later and see if I can find out which script is erroring – Firebug may be able to help me nail it down specifically.

There is a (rather inelegant) workaround to this:

A little PC humor:
I thought you weren’t supposed to have problems with Apple products :-)

Ben – that isn’t true. Apples have problems too. It’s just that they happen so infrequently that Apple users don’t know how to handle it. People who use windows not only are ready for problems, but expect them from years of experience.
