I saw a diary a few days ago about someone experiencing problems with firefox 33, particularly wrt to DAily Kos. Later that day, my laptop auto loaded the new version (33), and since then everything has ground to a halt. Not just DK, but if I am not spinning the mouse around the keyboard nothing loads. Guess what - this sucks for streaming video.
I reset Firefox as per their help page, and this improved things a bit, but it still sucks badly.
If it doesn't improve, I might have to migrate to Chrome or Opera.
Any views out there?
Update - thanks for everybody's input. The problem is not specific to DKos, just more pronounced. I will reduce my front page stuff AND contact Mozilla.
