Habitual Script Errors with Verson 29.0.1
While pop-up script errors have bedeviled Firefox since nearly forever, I've found after upgrading to version 29.0.1 to have even more of a problem with this. In particular, on the website http://www.wonkette.com/ I've had a terrible time just in the last week without their having been any change to that website or more browser. It seems to have happened out of nowhere. It's too the point of where I can not navigate the site without being on it for hours. I can get half-a-dozen script error pop-ups within an hour, and this is without even going between pages. The site absolutely crawls (scrolling becomes near-impossible) and hangs for minutes on end.
Can anyone replicate this experience, there? Has anyone found any ways around these errors? I can tell you right up front that it's not the result of a corrupted profile. It's not the the plug-ins; I've experimented with turning them all off, turning them off one by one and then turning them back on to see which gives me problems...and it's not that. As you can tell by the troubleshooting information, I'm running a rather old operating system, but that's only been of minimal issue across the internet for me. This seems to be something with the browser, and I'm wondering if there are any settings on about:config that may help me with this issue?

I checked my Windows Firewall setting and did everything Firefox suggest doing, and it doesn't seem to be that, either. I can't for the life of me figure out what the problem is. I don't believe it's any viruses or malware, either, as I've ran multiple programs to pick up potential threats.
Anyone willing to check on this? I was just back at that site, and got three script errors within half and hour, with it freezing up between each one of the pop-ups. It's made it so that I literally can't use that site.
Honestly, if no one can help, just point me back towards a place where I can find version 28, or I'm FINALLY off to Chrome or some sh%t. This is ridiculous. We've been dealing this for literal years, now.

That's it. I'm done. Someone point me to where I can find Version 28, already.
Hi FireFoxFan1, Thank you for your question. We had some really excited visitors to the support forum on Monday and we could use some more help. If you would like to help out this is how to become a contributor: Get Involved
In regards to your issue, I opened up the Networker for that website and saw a ton of scripts running. If you want to block them to prevent the message you can use the Ad Block Plus add on to scan what is running on the page too.
I hope this helps. And thank you for being a Firefox Fan, I am too ;-)
