Whole browser freezez for me on any amazon page. Just when it starts rendering it freezes everything inside Firefox window for a few seconds. It's so annoying that I'm considering dropping Firefox after over a decade for Opera or Brave browser.


I wonder if this is the same issue as I'm seeing: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12437130

Amazon works for me though. Hmmm.


Very similar issue! My gf walked into it recently on ArchLinux, she had the same problem, for her e10 was enabled by default. When she visisted pons.com the whole browser was frozen for at least 10seconds, and if it didn't unfreeze itself after that time, it was just consuming memory and freezing whole OS until Linux killed Firefox process. My issue was solved by disabling e10s, for her it didn't help so she switched to Opera already.


I wouldn't switch to Opera though. Use vivaldi instead.


What addons do you have installed, and what OS are you using?



I don't know if anything has changed, but tree style tab gave me terrible memory leaks.


According to about:performance TST has lower memory and CPU usage than uBlock


Have you tried disabling the functionality in about:config?


Yes.
