NoScript causes yahoo.com to stall

Environment details:

NoScript 10.1.9.1
Firefox 60.0 (64-bit) for Fedora 1.0
Other add-on: Adblock Plus

Problem description:

When NoScript is running, it causes yahoo.com to stall in the above environment, and none of the buttons on the yahoo web page work. Firefox gives a message in a yellow drop-down alert box: "A web page is slowing down your browser. What would you like to do?"

The NoScript badge shows that 1 script is currently not blocked (red), but when I select the badge to see what web site's script might be the cause, the list is blank (only buttons show, no URLs). None of the NoScript buttons have any effect on the script.

When I select "Stop It" in the Firefox alert box (stopping the stalled script, whatever it is), the NoScript list shows yahoo.com and yimg.com as Trusted, and oath.com as Untrusted.

If NoScript is disabled, Firefox doesn't complain about any scripts running on yahoo.com.

Thanks in advance for the assistance.

I think that you should allow scrips (only)) on oath.com?
And something from yahoo.com and ytim.com.

(I have never seen where oath.com has been need for anything.)

What are these "buttons" you speak of?

If you disable ABP, do you still get this "stalls"?
