Windows xp, browser is Firefox:

Everytime I go into yahoo email in firefox, I get a pop up that says
"A script in this movie is causing Macromedia Flash player 6 to run
slowly. If it continues to run, your computer may become unresponsive.
Do you want to abort the script?"

I don't know what this is or why it keeps popping up. I hit yes and it
comes up again later. Do I need Macromedia on my computer (I don't
knwo what it is)? Why does this keep popping up? Thanks for any help.

You need to read and decide if you need anything.

I read it and I don't understand it.

Is there someone who can just tell me how I can get this pop up to
stop and/or why it's doing it? This is a fairly new computer and I
don't even use the internet all that much. Thanks.
