Uk newspaper consistently causes Ff 53.0.3 32 bit to stop responding, no other newspaper causes this problem.
Everyday I visit several online newpapers both in the UK and the USofA. My problem is unique to one UK paper namely the " Express". After logging onto the Express the front page partially loads i.e most of the text and some of the graphics. At this stage the Blue loading circle revolves and sometimes will keep revolving for several minutes. I never do anything until the Blue circle stops revolving otherwise Ff stops responding. If and when it stops I then can proceed to read one article/piece, however if I then click the back arrow it will hang and usually I then get the message, Firefox has/is not responding. Most times after the first page has loaded ( text ) it can take several minutes for the graphics to fully load. I have looked at the crash reports but to be honest can not make head nor tail of them. I reiterate it is ONLY the Express that causes the problem. I have tried loading the Express whilst running Ff in Safe mode and can honestly state there is little or no difference. I have also checked the DL speed of the Express, sometimes it is well within the speed that is acceptable ( ie other newspapers DL speeds) and other times is it is crawling . And maybe I have just answered my question.
