Consistently, when I have the bac-assets.com script enabled, signing in to Bank of America causes Firefox to stop responding for 30 seconds. Currently, the bac-assets.com must be enabled to sign in. My computer resources are not heavily impacted. Firefox is only using 50% of the CPU during this time, and it is not until about 25 seconds that there is a brief spike of memory usage, which is about 40 megs. As far as I know, the Bank of America website is the only one that causes this behavior. I don't mind waiting 30 seconds to log into Bank of America. I do mind not being able to use Firefox for that time, and I am concerned about what is happening while Firefox is not responding.

Security Issue: Update your Flash Player Version 19.0.0.245
https://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/distribution3.html Note: Windows users should download the ‘’’active_x’’’ for “Internet Explorer,” and the ‘’’plugin’’’ for “Plugin-based browsers” (like Firefox).

Note: Edge on Win10 does not use ActiveX version but its own Flash.

See if there are updates for your graphics drivers https://support.mozilla.org/kb/upgrade-graphics-drivers-use-hardware-acceleration
