Recently started to get annoying script error messages every few seconds which causes firefox browser to show non responsive across all open tabs whenever I am trying to use Earthlink webmail - It only happens with earthlink webmail. Emailed feedback support through Earthlink but Earthlink is useless. They're running hyper aggressive ads on paid for webmail. I removed flash from this XP computer and don't allow Java but I never got this script error messages before. This is happening over the past month or two. I get the following message box which freezes the browser and have to keep hitting stop script. Anything I can do through firefox to eliminate this problem? Thanks.

"A script on this page may be busy, or it may have stopped responding. You can stop the script now, open the script in the debugger, or let the script continue.

Script: https://data08.adlooxtracking.…7%3A16&ao=&fake=001000&errors=:89"

Its always the same script but sometimes get different numbers after data

Why don't you use an ad blocker like uBlock Origin and just block those ads from even appearing.
