Amazon product pages slow to fully load, choppy scrolling
Within the past month, running the latest versions of Firefox and Windows 8, Amazon pages (specifically product pages) are slow to completely load and scrolling is clunky with delays. The page can take up to 20 seconds to fully load with intermittant animated green circles with the word "connecting" Scrolling is inconsistantly choppy with delays. Chrome doesn't have this issue. I tried opening one of these pages with Firefox network monitor but I don't know how to export the data and post it here, nor do I understand how to interpret the data to figure out what could be causing these issues.
