I have been using Firefox for several years. Suddenly, I am getting continuous popups about non-responsive scripts on many web sites including AAC. I uninstalled and reinstalled FF - no help. Now, I have switched to Chrome...no more problems.

Anyone else having this issue with Firefox?

I am using the latest Firefox (47.0) here. Use it on Windows, Linux and Android. No problems with AAC or any other site I visit.
Use UBlock Origin add-on. Block Flash.

I also sometimes get the "script may be busy" popups. Especially after reading a PDF. Don't think Tracecom was talking about advertising popups, but computer warning popups. Win10 and FF.

Correct, and I am using Win7.
This all started for me on a FF "upgrade" a few months ago. The upgrade wiped out all my book marks and the PDF reader at that time. After reloading Foxit reader and Adobe it has been doing the popup thing. This was all on Win8.1, but it continued after Win10 was loaded.
