When JavaScript code creates some elements of a page and resource is not available the page loads infinitely and hangs the rest of loading process.

Test 1 Use proxy or hosts file to fobid access to some nested domain which is used by JS code to create page's element.

Test 2 Use JS-request to inaccessible resource (for example with HTTP 404 response).

Mozilla Firefox Versions: 25-30

Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web link} While you are in safe mode; Press the <Alt> or <F10> key to bring up the tool bar. Followed by;

Windows; Tools > Options Linux; Edit > Preferences Mac; application name > Preferences

Then Advanced > General. Look for and turn off Use Hardware Acceleration.

Poke around safe web sites and see if there is still a problem. Then restart.

Yes, there is the same problem, for example with websites such as a.addthisedge.com and addriver.com. But due to userContent.css is disabled under safe mode the previous websites are not hang the page loading process.
