Facebook slows to a crawl, then hangs - worse with each new update - Why?
When I open Facebook, everything's fine. As I scroll down my news feed, it begins to slow. It gets worse as I scroll over video posts (you know, the ones that activate until you scroll past). After a few of these, it begins to stutter, then freeze. I close out FF, restart it (which used to work) but with the latest version (55.0.3 - 32 bit), it almost picks up right where it left off. I have to wonder, since FB is one of the most popular browsing sites, does anyone in QA even ATTEMPT to qualify these new releases against it???
I hate when someone "improves" a product and trashes my user experience. Please fix this.

Thanks Fred McD - My flash and driver were up-to-date, what appears to have fixed the issue was turning off the hardware accelerator. I just gave it a test drive now and it's stayed sane far longer than before.
Thanks again.

Update your Flash Player Note: Windows users should download the ActiveX for Internet Explorer. and the plugin for Plugin-based browsers (like Firefox).
Note: Windows 8 and Windows 10 have built-in flash players and Adobe will cause a conflict. Install the plugin only. Not the ActiveX.
Flash Player Version: Version 27.0.0.130

@ FredMcD :
As the OP says that turning off hardware acceleration (as mentioned in one of your posts) is what solved the problem, I think that it is your post that should be marked as 'Chosen Solution' (I'm sure that Rabitt agrees) .....
