If my computer has been open for a short while, when I open firefox, it freezes and shows this script-problem: chrome://ylayers/content/overlay.js:280
A script on this page may be busy, or it may have stopped responding. You can stop the script now, or you can continue to see if the script will complete. script: chrome://ylayers/content/overlay.js:280
The only way to move on is to access the jobmenu and close it manually, then restart the computer. If I stop using the web for a while, the problem reoccurs.
I have windows vista home premium on dell and firefox 14.0.1.0

Try the following:
Update to Firefox 16.0.1. Update Firefox to the latest release
Then Reset Firefox. Refresh Firefox - reset add-ons and settings
This issue can be caused by an extension (ylayers) that isn't working properly.
Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
- Do not click the Reset button on the Safe mode start window or otherwise make changes.
