Some Web Pages cause Overall UX Degradation (Across all Tabs / Windows) #3454

What happened?

On some web pages, after awhile (usually a few minutes, it's very consistent) the web page consumes an excessive amount of resources. This causes scrolling and typing UX and overall interactions in other tabs and windows to be sluggish and unpleasant. Using about:performance consistently reveals the same trouble web-site that is causing performance problems. I have found this to occur on only a few web-sites, but using The Terraria Wiki will consistently manifest the poor performance behavior. Unloading the web page or reloading it can temporarily resolve the issue until it occurs again minutes later.

Reproducible?
