Firefox slows down

I'm running Firefox browser on a Windows 10 computer. My Facebook page reaction time increases over time and when I try to watch a video, it's jerky. Occasionally I see a message pop-up that says "A webpage is slowing your computer down what would you like to do?" When I click "stop it" the message disappears but there is no improvement in the operation of the Facebook page. Is there a way that I can find out just which webpage is causing the problem?

”Webpage is slowing down your browser” This is the new way the browser tells you there is a problem with the script program(s). https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/warning-unresponsive-script?cache=no
