Unresponsive Script message in Firefox

I keep getting this pop-up warning box "Unresponsive script: chrome://ytoolbar/content/utils.js:60" when ever I open any page on Firefox. The page will not load until I press "stop script". This is really slowing things down on the internet. I tried the Firefox site, but didn't find anything for Macs. I could go back to using Safari, but don't like it as well and all my bookmarks are in Firefox.

Please help!

MacBookPro 17" 2.4 Ghz, Mac OS X (10.4.10), Also G4 with 10.3.9 and Classic

Hmmm, Chrome? ytoolbar?

Have you tried this...

I'm not sure what that is and can't help but feel you'd get more expert advice on Firefox components on Firefox's own support forums. You don't specify which sub version of Tiger you are running, nor which version of Firefox.

Chrome appears to be some Google component that is interacting with FF.

Have you done things such as clear your caches and history?

I occasionally see a similar unresponsive script message but it's usually when I have blundered onto some website that is about 50 screens long.

The FF Mozilla help page really scared me with this step in the precess:
<In the Location bar, type about:config and press EnterReturn.

* The about:config "This might void your warranty!" warning page may appear. Click I'll be careful, I promise!, to continue to the about:config page. >

I did take everyone advice and carefully checked my add-ons and extensions especially Google ones, and Guess what? One of them actually warned that it was not compatible with the latest FF I had just downloaded.

Thanks once again for great help when I panic.
