Twitter causes firefox to spinout.

Hello,

For some reason any time I open any Twitter link it causes both Twitter itself, as well as any subsequent websites that I open, to spin out and never load. The Twitter screen will sometimes eventually load to a "Something went wrong. Please try reloading" page, but will never load any tweets or even the login screens. If I close the twitter tab/window some text based webpages will load, but at a speed that feels like I'm on 28k dial-up line.

The issue resolves itself if I restart Firefox. If the Twitter window is still open it breaks any other windows that are reopening as well. It occurs in Safemode, and without any extensions enabled. I fully reset Firefox and the issue is still occurring. Twitter loads fine in other browsers and does not cause the the spin out issue.

Thanks.

Try disabling any third-party antivirus or security software, this may require rebooting into Windows Safe Mode (networking enabled).

Kaspersky can cause performance issues if you have "Inject script into web traffic to interact with web pages" enabled and don't have the companion browser extension installed.
