Hello

sorry but I can't resist to post that for the first time since ages, I have gone to this #@! site with Palemoon Linux and it has not HANGED the browser and more than half hanged X Window.
I could even read the article and close the tab without issue. Going back to it in disbelief, read another article, switched to a video and could see it. Great job. Cheers for 33.0 !

Off-topic:
In that regard, I'll note that I did take a look at 33.0.0b1, & it seemed decidedly "heavy".
Page loading, scrolling, just seem "off".

With 33.0.0 release, that feeling is gone.

Hello

Sadly, I have to take back what I wrote. Either this darn site has changed something, or I just stumbled on pages that were not exhibiting the problem. Now that I think of it, I think that when the hang happens, there is a small video autoplaying in the top right corner of the screen. I will have to investigate to see if it's possible to disable autoplaying of videos for a particular site.
