I doubt it was QuickJava, I've had it for six months. It gives no problems
on two accounts. On the other hand, I have serious doubts about
TrendProtect. It is now disabled but cannot be uninstalled through Addons.

When all else fails, try persistence.
- cleared all caches - no go
- uninstalling Firefox; clean registry and reinstall - no go
- deactivated every addon (only 4) - no go
- system restore to a day before the problem started - no go
- open Firefox; click Tools; click Error Console; click Clear - so far, no
more unresponsive script messages.

I suspect the last one may be worth remembering
