Waterfox freezes on any Wikipedia page and only Wikipedia

[zoeyronain]

What happened?

Browsing any Wikipedia page will cause that entire browser window to stop responding and cause video playback in another window to enter a buffer loop. It will occasionally start responding and video will resume but the second I try to interact with the page again it goes white and eventually pops up the "not responding" error again. Letting the browser be force closed and re-opening it once everything loads again it will do it again.

To ensure it's not my firefox profile or extensions I built Waterfox from source and can confirm the hang still occurs on that with no extensions and not logged into my Firefox account and in just a Wikipedia tab. The hangs seem to be a second or less vs 10-15 seconds in my normal Waterfox with 10-15 tabs open at any given time. I still have 50% of my 32gb of ram free and CPU usage is around 20%.

Reproducible?

• I have checked that this issue cannot be reproduced on Mozilla Firefox.

Don't have regular Firefox installed currently, but I'd assume verifying it still happens in a built from source copy of Waterfox in a brand new profile works just as well.
