Firefox 30 freezing (not responding) at Facebook.com
Posted: Wed Jun 18, 2014 9:16 am
Upon updating to Firefox 30, I've noticed that every time I view my news feed (https://www.facebook.com/ - while logged in), other people's timeline (https://www.facebook.com/insertprofileidhere) or album pages at Facebook, the browser hangs / freezes for ~30 seconds or more if ABP is the only extension enabled and if EasyList is the only list enabled. Oftentimes the ff. error message will also appear after the browser has freezed for some time:
" Warning: Unresponsive script
A script on this page may be busy, or it may have stopped responding. You can stop the script now, or you can continue to see if the script will complete.
Script: https://fbstatic-a.akamaihd.net/rsrc.php/v2/yp/r/21bfDHaSBi6.js:68 "
Opting to stop the script will allow me to view the page and stop the browser from hanging.
This happens if ABP is the *only* extension I have enabled, and EasyList is the *only* list I have active. (See ABP report below)

- ABP report made after browser freeze
- OS: Windows 7, 64-bit
- Browser: Firefox 30
- ABP version: 2.6.3
- Already tried: Clearing all cookies, cache, *all* history - to no avail.
- Disabling EasyList, and using only the Facebook Annoyances blocking list seems to resolve the issue. (but ads will appear on every site)
- I've experienced no similar issues on non-facebook.com sites.
