2 weeks ago Don't have regular Firefox installed currently, but I'd assume verifying it still happens in a built from source copy of Waterfox in a brand new profile works just as well.
What happened?
Browsing any Wikipedia page will cause that entire browser window to stop responding and cause video playback in another window to enter a buffer loop. It will occasionally start responding and video will resume but the second I try to interact with the page again it goes white and eventually pops up the "not responding" error again. Letting the browser be force closed and re-opening it once everything loads again it will do it again.
To ensure it's not my firefox profile or extensions I built Waterfox from source and can confirm the hang still occurs on that with no extensions and not logged into my Firefox account and in just a Wikipedia tab. The hangs seem to be a second or less vs 10-15 seconds in my normal Waterfox with 10-15 tabs open at any given time. I still have 50% of my 32gb of ram free and CPU usage is around 20%.
Reproducible?
