Unresponsive Script Error in Firefox Using Gmail
Author: Jason25 Jan
Gmail has been driving me crazy ever since upgrading to Firefox 1.5, particularly when trying to send a relatively large attachment. One of Gmail’s best features is the ability to send attachments that are up to 10 MB in size, but uploading a file of that size simply takes some time.
Apparently in Firefox 1.5, the time that a script can run for before it is considered to be unresponsive is automatically set to 5 (seconds, it appears). To fix the problem, type about:config into your address bar in Firefox, then in the filter field type “dom.max_script_run_time” (without the quotes). Then double-click on the record that comes up, and set it to something more rational, like 60.
Hat tip to Itchyhands for the solution.

I was getting so fed up with the sluggish unresponsiveness. I was going to throw my girlfriend's computer out the window!

1. I had installed CalGoo 0.3 (google calendar program) today.
2. I began experiencing the user script error only after installation.
3. I had the error message on google searches only when I was signed in to my personalized Google site.
4. I disabled add-ons until I found that one add-on: Google Calendar Quick Add - was causing the problem.
I propose that, at least for some users, the interaction between CalGoo and Google Calendar Quick Add is causing the issue.

Get the updated version of the Firefox add-on called Google Calendar Quick Add. Earlier versions of the add-on caused this error.

I fixed it by going to the AdBlock Plus Preferences and right clicking the subscriptions, and choosing "update".
Now my mails will open again without having to go to the "basic HTML" setting of Gmail.

Adblock Plus was the problem thanks for the solution.
