Loads fine - but uBlock₀'s Logger goes absolutely crazy picking up external JS. Every minute I leave it open, I get new blocked external ad scripts and 1x1 gifs appearing in the log. I'd consider this an attack site. I'm not joking. Stewart
Maybe it's choking on the subject matter. ;-) Works fine on openSUSE. On 06/01/2016 12:00 PM, Stephen wrote:

It could have been a particular ad that the page was serving you at the time, which may not have been selected when the page works. -- Scott

I suspect it is the lack of flash that is key to things working well. Browser lock ups are in my experience almost always caused by flash. Certainly I see no issue on FF 46.0.1 on Debian sid, without flash pluging installed. -- Len Sorensen

A number of people have suggested Flash as the problem. I have deactivated and will report in a few days. -- Stephen

Well flash certainly does qualify as being THE problem. It is a huge problem. It seems to be going away slowly though. Good riddance. -- Len Sorensen

There are a lot of bureaucratic entities that still embrace Flash for a wide number of things so its certainly not leaving quickly enough. It should be publicly 'hung drawn and quartered' IMO and then interned and its use made reason for public ridicule! Dee
This combination works fine for me -- but I run FF with NoScript and AdBlocker Plus. Alex On Wed, Jun 1, 2016 at 12:00 PM, Stephen <stephen-d@rogers.com> wrote:
