            Bug ID: 217713
           Summary: Frequent freezes with recent www/firefox
           Product: Ports & Packages
           Version: Latest
          Hardware: amd64
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Only Me
          Priority: ---
         Component: Individual Port(s)

For several weeks Firefox has been performing horribly. Loading  page (most any
with significant javascript) will hit several freezes. The whole browser will
lock up for several seconds. For some Google tools and things like Facebook, it
may freeze more than once when loading a single page.

No sure exactly when this started. At first I thought it would clear up either
when I rebooted my system, restarted Firefox, or updated to a new version. None
of these seems to have helped.

Any ideas on this? I may have to start using chromium, which I don't want due
to lack of several features, especially NoScript. Chromium show no such delays.
