Random Lag/Resource Hog?

Post by Plaguelight »

At random points in my browsing, or simply watching a video on Youtube or Twitch streams, the browser will freeze up or lag up for a while before causing the video/stream to stop working until I refresh the page. Other times, the extension app. in Task Manager for NoScript will hog up a lot of resources, building it up to as much as the CPU can give it, and then randomly settles back to normal.

I've scanned for malware and such already, and this only started happening after Firefox 57 and this new NoScript came out, so yeah...

Edit: The only other add-ons I have are AdBlock Plus and Flash Player.

Does it continue if you disable NoScript?

Religion is not the opium of the masses. Daily life is the opium of the masses.

True religion, which dares to acknowledge death and challenge the way we live, is an attempt to wake up.
