[..] web page slowing [..] message when watchin cnn
Hello, since about 2 weeks I cannot watch cnn video : it does not load and shows a yellow banner with :
[..] web page slowing [..] and 2 buttons "wait" "stop"
It never happened before. I use a Macbook Air with Mac OS Sierra 10.12.6 and Firefox 85.0 If I switch to Safari : no problem so it does not come from the cnn web page. If I use Firefox with any other site : no problem. When I watch youtube or use senfcall for video call : no problem.
Can any one help ? I do not want to abandon firefox for Safari, even if it is just for cnn video, I would like to continue to support Mozilla.
Andre.

I did all the above + I disable Picket which I had recently started to use, and it seems every thing came back to normal. Thanks !! Andre

Hello, thanks for the Javascript Toggle On and Off : I added it. It did not solve the problem but I thing it is a useful tool.
I added a screen shot of the Firefox message attached here. It is still there blocking firefox .. Andre.

If there is still a problem, Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web link} by holding down the <Shift> (Mac=Options) key, and then starting Firefox.
A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Safe Mode (not Refresh). Did this help?
While you are in safe mode;
Try disabling graphics hardware acceleration in Firefox. Since this feature was added to Firefox it has gradually improved but there are still a few glitches.

Open the History Manager <Control> (Mac=<Command>) <Shift> H. In the search bar, enter the name of the site. Right-click on one of the listings and select Forget About This Site. This should remove all information, including any site settings
