I am unable to close a tab that does not load

Hello, I opened a tab on my Firefox for Android:

https://nypost.com/2019/01/01/trump-calls-retired-general-a-dog-with-a-big-dumb-mouth/?utm_source=fark&utm_medium=website&utm_content=link&ICID=ref_fark

The tab did not completely load, and when I try to close this tab or switch to another tab, the other tabs do not load their content.

If I attempt to switch tabs, then leave Firefox and return to it, the tab that I switched to shows the partially-loaded content from the problem tab (though the URL is not from that tab) and the new tab becomes unresponsive.

I've tried closing the tab, closing the program, force stopping the program, restarting my phone, and all of the above, in order. The tab just keeps coming back.

Any ideas why this is happening? How do I stop it?

Yay I got rid of it. I had to open about:logins, shut off my phone, reopen Firefox, and close the problem tab from the tabs view.

I'm very curious why this happened, though. It's not the first time something like this has happened, and it's a very disruptive process to get rid of it.
