Slows down and then stops on this website ------> https://lichess.org/ in Chrome, this website works perfect. (for the time being i will use that..) extra info: when i analyze the game and scroll through the moves, Firefox stops responding and i need to close Firefox in task manager. i do not have this problem with Chrome...

I have read some bug reports about JavaScript on Firefox 55 and 56 but all i could find were people reporting the problem and 'Mozilla' saying that it is not on there end...

all i need is a straight answer and if possible a solution :)

Tnx !
