A web page will not stop loading.
Page comes up but it keeps turning & tells you it is loading.
Chosen solution
Modern websites often incorporate content from multiple servers, including content, advertising, tracking, and so on. Firefox will continue to show loading even if the main content is all there, so long as it has not given up on other content used by the site.
Do you see any messages floating in the lower left corner about what content Firefox is trying to load, or what server it is waiting for?
If you want to conduct a test, you could try using Firefox's Web Console. Press Ctrl+Shift+k to open the console in the lower part of the tab (or you can call it up from the Developer menu), then along the top bar, click Network. Then Reload the page and Firefox should show all of the many requests for its bits and pieces and this may help in spotting the source of the slowness.
Or, often, if you press the Esc key Firefox will give up on loading the delayed content. If you can tell it's not important, that probably would be easiest...

Hey now there young fellow you are right on top of things. The "Esc" works fine. I should make note that it does not do it with any of my other browsers. That said, I prefer to use Mozilla so I will go with the key. It just never did this before & I do use AdBlocker.
But thanks much for the help.
