| Does anyone here ever get script error messages when viewing lowes.com
with Firefox? This happens to me all the time. The page will freeze up for
several seconds, then a small window pops up telling me a script is having
problems with this page. Do I want to continue running this script.
Doesn't matter which choice I select, because the browser is frozen solid.
My PC is running XP Home SP2, DSL connection, Firefox 2.0.0.3.
I have since configured IE Tab to use the Internet Explorer engine
when visiting lowes.com.

No problem here, on either OS X or XP. Is there something in particular
that you do at this site that seems to cause the problem? I just went
in, clicked a bunch of links and buttons, and everything seemed to work
fine.

I am doing some remodeling and have used lowes.com a lot lately to gather
information and have had no problems. Try visiting the site with Firefox in
safe mode to see if an extension is causing your problem.

do you have noscripts, or adblock, or flash block installed? Mabye one
of these is blocking, otherwise, the site works just fine.
Are you have the problem on ALL pages or just some. If some, then
post a direct link.

I have AdBlockPlus installed, and at first I thought that was the
culprit. I deactivated it for lowes.com and everything seemed to be fine.
I clicked on link after link with no problem. This morning, I visited
lowes.com again, typed in a keyword, and by the 2nd or 3rd link, my browser
froze up again, and I saw the script error window.

It is possible that the script in question is coming from a different
address than lowes.com, so perhaps enabling lowes.com in AdBlockPlus
worked as a general fix, but when a script came from a different IP
address, it was blocked again.
If the error is repeatable, perhaps trying it in safe mode will be
informative.

>=20
Have you tried the site in safe mode?
Doing so temporarily disables extensions and themes to see if they are=20
impacting on the problem.

oh good golly miss molly! Do you really need all those extensions?
The more you have, the more problems you could experience.

Not "could" experience but "WILL" experience. Geez. forty-eleven
extensions installed and he's still asking: "How could this not work?"
I would rather ask: "How /could/ this possibly be expected to work?"
Assume a unique developer for each extension. And the core product is
open source and is developed by an (almost) infinite number of
programmers. And you expect this to work? Good luck.
It's the dancing bear syndrome: It's not how well the bear dances, it's
that he dances at all that is amazing.
To the OP: minimize your chances for failure/problems: get rid of
every extension that you don't really need. Mozilla does not manage nor
endorse extensions; they are created by other people, not managed, not
certified, not validated, by anyone. Extensions are a total crap shoot:
That is, a complete gamble. Installing any extension is "at your own
risk."

For the most part, I've tried to do that the past year. Although I
admit I have a few extensions installed that are not essential. However,
those extensions perform very minor tasks and I doubt they are behind my
problem with lowes.com. Such as one called 'Print Image'. It adds that
feature to the context menu. Another is called 'Search Engine Sorting',
which sorts search engines alphabetically with the touch of a button.
For the record, I currently have 20 extensions installed.

Whether or not you think the extension could possibly impact on your
problem is somewhat immaterial.
Extensions can do funny things when mixed with other extensions, if they
have never been tested together or in the exact combo you have them in,
problems can arise.
In any case, go to safe mode and try it then! Whether or not you think
so, that will resolve the question whether your extensions mix is
impacting on the lowes problem or not. If it does the same thing with
no extensions, then you can say your 20 extensions are okay, otherwise
you cannot.

It may very well be an extension issue. However, I am quite happy
with the extensions I currently have installed, and will not removed them
because of a minor glitch with lowes.com. I have IE Tab configured to load
the IE engine with that website. That's good enough for me.

Let me rephrase the 2nd sentence of my comment: I am quite happy with
the extensions I currently have installed, and don't consider a glitch with
lowes.com to be worth disabling/removing any one of them. If this script
error message occurred at other websites, then I would consider removing an
extension.

I am recommending a TEST! A temporary test to see if it IS your
extensions or not impacting on the Lowes problem
But I guess you dont want to resolve the Lowes problem then... pray
tell, why you posted about it in the first place then?

Well unless you do the test NO ONE will ever know will they? No one can
say at the moment exactly what is causing the problem, it may be an
extension, it may not be. We suggested means of finding out, but you
dont even seem to want to do that now.
Funny, it was you who brought the problem up. If it isnt worth your time
to test to find out, then why did you bring the problem up in the first
place? You want us to waste OUR time answering your posts, but you wont
even do a simple test?
Goodnight Irene

I'm not trying to waste anyone's time. And I don't enjoy arguing on
the Internet at all. Perhaps I was a bit haughty in my previous comments.
However, that was a reaction to what I considered your snobby comments
towards me. Let's just move on and forget this. The Internet has enough
flame wars.
