i use firefox and it happens often w/ versions 1.5 and 2.0. didn't happen with my ie 6 sp2 yet. something tells me it related to active x and not the browsers.
i also get scripting errors with cbssports.com w/ firefox but not ie.

I thought it was java from the appletA few friends that had this problem, I asked if they saw the TV commercials in the field applet. Nope. I figure that's about when it shuts down. Maybe it's not java, you may be right but I think it has to do with that commercial BS

Had it happen with Firefox 2.0 here over the last 2 weeks.. simple fix is open another tab just to your homepage and than click between the tabs you need. For some reason I don't get the error at all when I don't leave the gamecenter on the bottom tabs.
I used to have what I think is the same problem with sportsline's baseball scoreboard. This worked:
1. Type about:config in Firefox's address bar.
2. Filter down to the value for dom.max_script_run_time.
3. Change the value to something higher than the default (which is 5.) I set mine to 20.
4. Bask in interruptionless browsing!
I googled the error message to find this.

care to explain howmy man otis said:
one of the nice things about FF is that it isnt a resource hog(even with multiple tabs open, however since I dont use IE i cant state it as a fact but i have read that IE is still sorta a resource hog when it opens multiple tabs

I've been having the same problem with Netscape and CBS Sportsline NFL Game Logs. Very frustrating!
How come you guys don't just hit another site. I quoted one above, another one or two was mentioned here. I'm surprised. What's with this determination?My thinking is whatever works best, don't wanna miss out on in game stats. NFL's doing it themselves next year so it'll be different anyhow. I'm not "sufferring" thru this year.
Curious why you guys are? It's been said it's annoying, it closes all the windows+everything you're working on so...why?
on the top right it has 30-60-90 you can set the update to whatever ya want.

Couple things with regard to what's going on here.
First, the dom.max_script_run_time fix in firefox didn't work for me. I'm using 2.0.
FF and IE crash equally as much for me. Mostly, the biggest anoyance with FF is the "Script not responding" error, which is really what the dom.max_script_run_time change was supposed to fix.
For Gamecenter, once I began using NFL.com's gamecenter versus Sporsline's, I have had FAR less problems. Although it'll still crash once or twice a Sunday.
I'm going to try Foxsports.com's stat tracker thing this week and see how it works.
Finally, I saw a comment that the new IE is better than FF 2.0. I beg to differ. I'm all for using what works best despite being an open source guy myself. But IE is still lacking in almost every area that made FF so popular 3 years ago. Still slower, still no right click-open new tab option, still as clunky as ever from a menu perspective.
MS tried and failed yet again to make a product better than somebody elses. What's that make them....about 2 for 10000?
The 2 being Word and Excel. Both super apps.

You need to install the Flash player for Firefox. Make sure you download the one for Firefox and not IE. You can download it at www.adobe.com

I run both IE7 and FF2 now. I agree that for me, FF2 is the way to go. I love the extensions. I cannot have the same browsing experience with IE7. I am a FF "fanboy" due to the extensions.But a couple notes (not necessarily in response to the above quote, but to everyone). IE6 and IE7 are actually just as fast or faster than Firefox, thanks to being integrated into the OS. Opera is actually the fastest browser available. IE7 is a HUGE upgrade over IE6, although I still think it lacks the expandability that FF has. IE7 is much more compatible with the web standards (than IE6, FF still beats it by far here) as well, although MS still had to go their own way on a lot of things, which causes headaches for web developers. BTW - Middle click (or mouse wheel) opens a link in a tab in IE7 just like in FF. IE6 had a very low memory footprint for a single window open. It got crazy with memory usage when you opened multiple pages though because each one was in a separate process. But I believe IE7 memory usage has improved due to the use of tabs, and is equivalent with FF2. I do expect FF3 to introduce much better memory management and performance, as I have read that the even versions of FF will introduce front-end features while the odd versions will work on better performance and behind the scenes enhancements.
Personally, I will stick with FF2 and I hope a lot of people choose to use, stay or switch to FF2 as well. I highly recommend it. Get Firefox
But while I despised IE6 and couldn't understand why people would use it, I could use IE7 and can see why people would use or stay with it. I hope they don't, but I can understand it.

I use Firefox for everything except viewing NFL.com and Sportsline.com, both of which crash Firefox2 but work fine for me in IE6.
hmm I noticed a lag but it seemed the same as NFLWho does NFL's (sportsline's)pages? stats or elias?
