Fix for "Google's Unresponsive Script" error..

This has really annoyed the living bit out of me over the past couple weeks.. You know what I'm talking about if you've ever received the "Warning: Unresponsive Script" popup while using google search in your Firefox.

Trying to figure out an answer through online boards, blogs, and groups is virtually useless. On this one, it appears 99.99% of the folks are clueless, and only the remaining 0.01% have somewhat of a slightest idea how to fix the problem.. grr.

I think I nailed it by resorting to the good old brute force troubleshooting method akin to "binary search". I started off by toggling half of my firefox plugins off. The bug didn't go away. I toggled the remaining half off, and the bug simply vanished! I went back and put half of the initial second portion of my plugins back in and the problem resurfaced. I repeated this a couple times until I finally narrowed it to the single plugin: "Google quick calendar add" (whatever it's name).

Hence, the simple solution is to remove the "google calendar plugin"!!

Enjoy!
