If you disable all other extensions except for NoScript, restart FF, then visit the site, then give it the needed permissions, do you still see the same high CPU & memory usage?


If you were to disable NoScript, restart FF, then visit the same site, do you still see the same high CPU & memory usage?

hmm, I checked your method, and in both cases the problem exists.
why I was thinking of a noscript, because if you don’t give permission to this sites, then everything loads fine.
so, the problem is in the scripts, but the sites one and not the plugin ...

I would be glad if you suggested what it could be connected with, maybe in the browser confining, i use Mozilla.
it looks like it loop something.

Moving to NoScript Support

What specific version of Firefox Quantum are you seeing this issue with?
Links to the sites in question?
How are you allowing their scripts in NoScript? Are you setting individual script sites to "Temp Trusted", or are you using one of the "disable restrictions" buttons (either the one for tab or globally)?

Do you still see the issue in a new, clean Firefox profile with all default settings and no extensions added?

I use Tor 8,0,8 with direct connection, i.e. proxy turned off.
and with pure conf the problem remains.
but there is another conf i take from another ver of my Tor, but folder with proxy enabled.
i take it, off proxy and everything is fine.

but there are too many differences, I can’t understand what’s breaking ...
some pluguins or settings mixed and do this..i test https://vk.com/dickman site as sample.

I just do not allow scripts to all sites, by default. in this mode everything is loaded ok.
as soon as I give permission, kaos begins.

So are you saying that the vk.com/dickman page was giving you trouble?

(I went down it (not completely), viewed the videos & whatnot & saw no issues.
Allow vk.com, & some other needed sites [mail.ru?, which I don't remember at the moment].)

yes, any profile page on this site. but not only this site, sometimes i find sites like this.
i allow only vk.com first script, and kaos begins.

so on your brouser no issue, i attached upper my configs
if you understand which difference make problem please check it.

PROBLEM SOLVED!!

solution:
in prefs.js after line: user_pref("intl.charset.detector", "");
need to add this↓ line ,
user_pref("javascript.use_us_english_locale", true);

So just what lead you to this "fix"?


(With a brief look, it kind of appears that those type of settings might be used to thwart "fingerprinting", & so I'd think are more apt to be set by a user using Tor, which you are using.)

I am not a FF settings specialist, sory.
Therefore, I don’t know why this problem suddenly arose. i did not specifically delete this setting myself.

lead me to this is that there become too many “problematic” sites, it infuriated me, so just come moment that the problem could not be endure anymore.
Therefore, I spent about 6 hours without a break to re-make the config file.
delete lines and make FF auto remake them, find if it works, after it works compared the lines, etc. until I have not found the right one.
