Facebook tabs keep freezing on Firefox

Lately (the last few weeks) Facebook has been getting increasingly buggy and upset on Firefox. General browsing has intermittent speed issues, but in particular opening images off a Facebook page to view will freeze Firefox for 30 seconds or more almost every time, and after a while it usually gives an error about the page slowing FF down. I can close the tab, and if I go to another tab with a different website open then that works normally, but the Facebook tab is dead to the world during this time and doesn't respond to anything except being closed.

Facebook doesn't do this on Edge, and Firefox doesn't have the issue with any other websites, but Facebook now is almost at the point of being unusable.

I've cleared the cache completely, tried debugging mode with extensions disabled, and refreshed Firefox, nothing makes any difference.
