Hello

I have a CPU i7 6700K, a GTX 980M 8G, and 32G of RAM, when i´m in Facebook on a gif page, the more i go down, the more firefox doesn´t respond, or comes back again in slow motion, and doesn´t play the gifs; i´m also facing the "script" error, but it only appears after a long time of roiling down the page.

My CPU starts whispering more and more, and nothing rolls out.....

I saw the instructions to fix it, but when i disable the "script" thing, the page on Facebook doesn´t open because java is required... CPU and RAM isn´t a problem to.........i don´t know what to do

All the help is welcome

Thank you

I don´t have a profile.

A profile contains everything about the user: bookmarks, history, settings, add-ons . . . . . .

Use these links to create a new profile. Use this new profile as is. Is the problem still there?

But how creating a profile, is going to solve a "script" problem? I don´t understand that one
