This page seems to cause a problem: https://www.bt.com/sport/watch/whats-on/

Tried Safe Mode and clean Pale Moon portable (both 28.14.1, W10). Can't say if it's a new issue. Waited for a couple of minutes, pressing Continue in the Unresponsive script prompt didn't help.

It's hanging in a (1.82MB large!) minified blob that's impossible to debug in its presented state. I even wonder why a page like that needs to use so much JS.
So yeah, it hangs. reason? probably an endless loop. The only ones that could fix it are the bt.com people.
