I was having the same sorts of messages in FireFox until the Java
and Java
add-ons were dealt with as i described. You can quibble about the
difference
all you want.
Not a quibble. I'm trying to keep a common misconception from
spreading, before it becomes the next 'Zap your PRAM' or 'Repair
Permissions' placebo. Java has *nothing whatsoever* to do with
JavaScript. There are no Java elements on the Yahoo page in question.
Updating Java for a J-script issue makes as much sense as "You're
having a problem with Photoshop? I'd re-install MS Office."
If this process fixed your system, then your errors were either
related to an actual Java program, not a JavaScript program or (far
more likely) the updating process fixed the actual problem, like a
corrupted cache.
If there's a problem with Java on a page, the error message will refer
to an 'applet' not a script. That 'script is busy or not responding'
error message is exclusively a JavaScript error message.
