Browser freezes when loading page with content from fonts.googleapis.com for the first time
Every time when I enter a webpage with content - usally css or js - from website fonts.googleapis.com, browser freezes and I have to wait like half a minute until it unfreezes. I reported this like two years ago, but noone knew any solution to this problem, so I had to get used to it. Will you help me this time?

Usefull fact to add - it's happening to both my computers with same software configuration.
Does the Network log confirm that it is a problem with the fonts.googleapis.com website and not some other issue?
If you use extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) that can block content (e.g. Adblock Plus, NoScript, Flash Block, Ghostery) then make sure that such extensions aren't blocking content.
Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
- Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window.
I tried fresh start with all my add-ons disabled and nothing has changed. I'm using default theme, never have used anything else. I cannot check web console since browser freezes before it loads.
Happened to me again recently on brand new laptop with Windows 8. Does not matter what webpage, loading any page which is using some stuff from googleapis causes shorter or longer freeze.
