displaying Tumblr in Firefox

[ratcreature]

Tumblr seems to freeze Firefox fairly often on my computer, e.g. I scroll down my dashboard and then suddenly the page (and all of Firefox actually, like I can't switch tabs) becomes unresponsive for a little while before scrolling resumes. At first I thought it might be some unfortunate side effect of XKit or an XKit extension, because the filtering that applies to my dashboard (like removing the sponsored stuff, and blocking some tags), and that used to slow things down on my old laptop sometimes, but this effect also happens sometimes when I have just a single Tumblr post open and scroll down that.

Do others have this problem? It is starting to really annoy me. It never happens on any other website besides Tumblr.

It happens to me in Chrome, but it's not just Tumblr; I also have that problem on sites that are heavily laden with plugins and ads. Tumblr is one of the worst, though, and it freezes up my whole computer while it does whatever it's trying to do. For me, it goes along with not having restarted the computer in awhile. I never have that problem coming off a fresh reboot, but then it gets worse and worse.

Hmm, for me it also happens when I scroll through Tumblr (or try to anyway) right after I started my computer when I first check out my flist etc.
