Firefox locks up when browsing eBay

I have been dealing with an issue in Firefox on Windows 11 for several weeks now hoping for a fix soon but it has not come yet. When I am browsing on eBay, it will lock up and I have to identify the thread in Task Manger and kill it (just the runaway thread, not the entire program). I can then continue of eBay for a short time before it happens again. This only happens on eBay while just browsing, not bidding/buying. Is anyone else having this issue?

Does it happen in troubleshoot mode? What security software are you running besides MS Defender? Windows home or pro?

Thanks for the heads up about Troubleshooter mode. I was able to track it down to an extension. Funny thing is that the extension has been installed for several months but I just started having the issue about 4-6 weeks ago. Maybe it updated and I didn't realize it. I removed the extension as I can't remember the last time that I used it. Thanks again!
