Website attack? Toggling between Reload and Stop icons rapidly.
I have tried this with the Troubleshooting option "Temporarily Disable Extensions" and the problem still occurs. Firefox 101.0.1 (64 bit) on Win10, Intel.
To reproduce:
Go to https://www.healthgrades.com/ . Search Carlene Bolen (any name?) in Tulsa, OK. Click on first result. Opens a new tab to https://www.healthgrades.com/providers/carlene-bolen-29brb. So far so good. Click on page. Hit PgDn 3 times, or scroll down quite a ways (to comments). Hit PgUp or attempt to scroll to top of page. Tab goes into infinite loop toggling between "X" and reload symbols on the NAV bar. Also page no longer renders properly and F12 debugger won't open. Firefox process for that Child tab uses 35% of processor, but doesn't show anything unusual in Firefox "Task Manager" process list. Must close both the child tab and the previous Healthgrades parent tab. Eventually the offending Firefox process exits and everything looks normal.

Yeah... Same issue in Linux. Definitely something wrong.

It doesn't happen in Chrome.

Verified this doesn't happen in MS Edge (Chrome based). This appears to be a Firefox issue. Also tested this in Firefox Private window. It still happens. Note must page down or scroll PAST the comment box, and then back up PAST the comment box.
Tested other doctor names. It happens on some, not on others. This one also does it: https://www.healthgrades.com/physician/dr-evan-cole-xwkfs
This one does NOT break. The only difference I see is the location map is at the top of the page. https://www.healthgrades.com/physician/dr-don-roller-xxfs7
Once the page breaks the F12 debugger doesn't work, so not sure what's going on.
