For the most part, I've tried to do that the past year. Although I
admit I have a few extensions installed that are not essential. However,
those extensions perform very minor tasks and I doubt they are behind my
problem with lowes.com. Such as one called 'Print Image'. It adds that
feature to the context menu. Another is called 'Search Engine Sorting',
which sorts search engines alphabetically with the touch of a button.

For the record, I currently have 20 extensions installed.

Whether or not you think the extension could possibly impact on your
problem is somewhat immaterial.


Extensions can do funny things when mixed with other extensions, if they
have never been tested together or in the exact combo you have them in,
problems can arise.

In any case, go to safe mode and try it then! Whether or not you think
so, that will resolve the question whether your extensions mix is
impacting on the lowes problem or not. If it does the same thing with
no extensions, then you can say your 20 extensions are okay, otherwise
you cannot.

It may very well be an extension issue. However, I am quite happy
with the extensions I currently have installed, and will not removed them
because of a minor glitch with lowes.com. I have IE Tab configured to load
the IE engine with that website. That's good enough for me.

Let me rephrase the 2nd sentence of my comment: I am quite happy with
the extensions I currently have installed, and don't consider a glitch with
lowes.com to be worth disabling/removing any one of them. If this script
error message occurred at other websites, then I would consider removing an
extension.

I am recommending a TEST! A temporary test to see if it IS your
extensions or not impacting on the Lowes problem


But I guess you dont want to resolve the Lowes problem then... pray
tell, why you posted about it in the first place then?

Well unless you do the test NO ONE will ever know will they? No one can
say at the moment exactly what is causing the problem, it may be an
extension, it may not be. We suggested means of finding out, but you
dont even seem to want to do that now.


Funny, it was you who brought the problem up. If it isnt worth your time
to test to find out, then why did you bring the problem up in the first
place? You want us to waste OUR time answering your posts, but you wont
even do a simple test?

Goodnight Irene

I'm not trying to waste anyone's time. And I don't enjoy arguing on
the Internet at all. Perhaps I was a bit haughty in my previous comments.
However, that was a reaction to what I considered your snobby comments
towards me. Let's just move on and forget this. The Internet has enough
flame wars.
