Since a few days ago I noticed that when I browse reddit.com on Firefox my pc freezes.

This does not happen when I browse reddit.com with Chrome.

Windows 10 with FF 60.0.1.

Hey.

I thought this solved my problem, but no. Apparently FF freezes only on sub reddits with animated gifs...

This will not freeze FF.

I think I know how to reproduce this for me. Go to a sub reddit with gifs, for example https://www.reddit.com/r/gifs/.

Now you have to choose the display format (see picture). When browsing like this, FF freezes after a few seconds.
