Firefox 42 noticeable lag when I visit a particular site
Firefox 42 noticeable lag when I visit a particular site.
Hi Mozilla, This is the site http://www.deccanherald.com/. When I open 8 or more tabs on this site Firefox gets laggy. I right click on a link and choose open a new tab there is a delay of a few seconds before the right click menu appears and then another delay to open in a new tab. when I'm scrolling down there are more delays and when I move from tab to tab still more delays.
When I visit this same site in Internet Explorer 11 I don't experience any issue it works fine. My specs Alienware M14XR2 i7-3630QM, 8 GB RAM, NVIDIA Geforce GT 650M, Windows 7 Home Premium Service Pack 1 64 Bit .

Poke around safe web sites. Are there any problems?
Then restart.
Are there a lot of video players on that site?
This is not a cure, but should let the web page load without crashing.

Hi, So I tried all your suggestions deleted cookies, cleared my web cache, disabled hardware acceleration, disabled auto scroll. It didn't work still experiencing lag. There are some videos on the main page but they don't start playing until you click on them. There is a photo gallery that auto scrolls. The headlines scroll by and then pause and start scrolling again. I refreshed firefox but that doesn't solve the problem either. I tried it in safe mode too. Anyway as long as mozilla knows about it maybe they will check it out fix it. Does the website work for you? Thanks.
