Firefox constantly locks up, is unresponsive when on the huffingtonpost.ca site and I click on a story that has mandatory video in it that autoplays (along with their commercials)

Looking for a solution.

Thanks

I had no problem at the site. Win 7 FF 42

Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web Link} by holding down the <Shift>
(Mac=Options) key, and then starting Firefox. Is the problem still there?
