anybody else noticing some pages hang loading for ages on mobile?
Using Fennec F-Droid, some pages the progress bar hits 25% and then hangs for an amount of time between a couple minutes to forever. Usually the same page will always hang around the same time, but trying hours or days later it might work. Sometimes the page loads after a couple minutes, but if it doesn’t, I can come back hours later and the progress bar is still at 25% for that tab. Killing the app doesn’t seem to make a difference. I do use Ublock origin and one other extension to redirect reddit links to old.reddit.com. Haven’t started disabling extensions yet, I wanted to see if anyone else is experiencing this on Android.
From comments in the original post, two bugs tracking this issue. The Mozilla bug is very light on info at the moment.
Good to see I wasn’t the only one experiencing that problem.
Apparently there was an issue with ad blockers in the latest main release of Fennec, so maybe try drowngrading?
Got a link about that?
No. A friend was having problems on version 142.0.0 about a week ago and mentioned it, but didn’t provide source.
Do you have an ad blocker installed? If so, I’ve found some website tracking processes can hang for a bit when they don’t get their expected response.
