How to fix the Mozilla Firefox browser when it becomes unresponsive
Commonly in Firefox the script may become unresponsive. This show through an error stating unresponsive script. This means firefox believes the script may lead it to hang. You have an option of either letting the script continue or stop if it continues note that it may cause Firefox to hang or may be the script just needs a longer time to open. If this error happens on particular websites then you can stop scripts running on that particular website. Check that there are no add-ons because this could be the cause. If it is still hanging then shut down and run Mozilla once more.

It can happen for two things one is low ram and other is virus attack. So first you have to identify what kind of problem you are facing. If it is low ram then you can buy a new one. To see your ram status click on start menu then programs then accessories then system tool then system information. If your ram is ok then you are facing virus attack. So use a antivirus to kill the virus .And then re-install the fire fox again. If then it happens again then you should re-install your operating system. So first identify the problem then do as I said to you.
