Firefox crashes when opening washingtonpost.com
Google News links bring up a Google redirect page with URL
"https://news.url.google.com/url?sa=j&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.washingtonpost.com%2Fnews%2Facts-of-faith%2Fwp%2F2018%2F03%2F02%2Fwhat-to-expect-from-famed-evangelist-billy-grahams-funeral%2F&uct=1520019550&usg=AeGY-pDVmIVjJGggeqg5hmZnRZ8." It reads:
Redirect Notice
"The previous page is sending you to https://www.washingtonpost/news/acts-of-faith/wp/2018/03/02/what-to-expect-from-famed-evangelist-billy-grahams-funeral/.
If you do not want to visit that page, you can return to the previous page."
This WP link is now always inoperative. When I visit https://www.washingtonpost.com/ , it loads index page, but no links function and Firefox crashes. Any ideas? Any help or hints much appreciated.
