"This page is slowing down Firefox...."
I have my page count set to 40 posts. I noticed a few months back that many times, every time in fact, I hit that next page with Infinite Scroll, the page locks up and I get the message "This page is slowing down Firefox. <something, something>, press stop." If I don't press the stop button in the bar at top it literally locks the entire tab. It won't scroll down or even back up. I can't click a different site from my bookmarks toolbar. I have to either press the stop, and then, for some idiot reason that allows it to load the next page. Or I have to close out that tab entirely. This is still a fairly new phenomenon. I could try increasing my posts per page but I thought it was weird that I never had this problem for years, then just six months or so ago it started doing this. I don't notice it on any other sites.
Anybody seen this? Solution?

You could disable infinite scroll as that appears to work around the issue.

Thanks for the reply. Weird that it's only here and not any other site I visit, even other IB sites. But I keep threatening to switch over to Brave for a while now. This might just be the motivation I need.
