This is Linux, running Firefox 60.5.1. This week has been bad. Linux has frozen (only running Firefox). Video playback is impossible: it takes 10-20 seconds to play 1 second of video, despite having it buffer much of the download available. This only started a few days ago. I got a lot of software updates. I do not remember if Firefox got any updates during that time.
