I have XP and Firefox version3.6.8 and nothing else to interfere but Internet Explorer but not used as a browser. When viewing emails and downloading especially long attachments the Unresponsive Scrips Error appears locking up the mouse and keys. Then I can only shut down by pulling the plug. Restarting is OK and Email works OK until another long download attachment is attempted. Email is At&T Yahoo DSL who say they will fix or tell me how to fix for $180 more per year.
