I have an on-line subscription to the Sydney Morning Herald. Recently, every time I try to read an article, Firefox freezes. I can read SMH okay on my iPad. If I transfer the SMH Article URL into Edge everything works okay. What have they done to Firefox?

I can load articles on the site without issue. (I don't have a subscription.) Try removing cookies. If that doesn't work, try troubleshooting.

I cleared the cookies a few days back and have had no trouble since. Thanks
