Problem visiting one website only have issues with firefox.
I can't visit the site etsy on firefox with absolutely annoying issues. I sometimes get an error message saying firefox is not responding. Every single page load on the site begins with this annoying pause. Which makes using the site impossibly annoying.
It is only an issue on that one website and only when using firefox.
They say it isn't them but firefox is the issue.
I sell on etsy and using a different browser is just irritating.

Hi, delete all references to the website in question, as shown under the heading 'How do I remove a single website from my history?' in this article - Delete browsing, search and download history on Firefox, then try the site again.
If that doesn't work, one of your add-ons may be causing it, so try Firefox Safe Mode to see if the problem goes away. Firefox Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode that temporarily turns off hardware acceleration, resets some settings, and disables add-ons (extensions and themes).
If Firefox is open, you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu:
- Click the menu button
, click Help 
and select Restart with Add-ons Disabled.
If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
- On Windows: Hold the Shift key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
- On Mac: Hold the option key while starting Firefox.
- On Linux: Quit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run firefox -safe-mode
(you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "Start in Safe Mode".
If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, theme, or hardware acceleration. Please follow the steps in the Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems article to find the cause.
To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.
When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help others with the same problem.

Well said.
Please post a public link that we can check out.
Thank you very much. It was no script causing the issue. Not sure why. I turned it off and everything is working fine.
The link was https://www.etsy.com
Well done. Contact the support for that add-on.
