I have only Google Update activated as add-on, nothing else (so it is not from add-ons).

Are you able to give some other example. I will edit out the site name as it looks like a pyramid club scam

Thank you.

But it is not what you said. Because at the below site (other example) the browser freezes, too, for about 40-50 seconds, and it is not a scam. Moreover I use the below site since April 2015 and in the past the freezing problem didn't occur.

Here it is the site: <removed >

My browser does not freeze at that site. Again a site offering investment opportunities. Do you not get problems on other more frequently used and ordinary sites.

A 40 to 50 seconds pause in loading some sites may not be too unusual especially if the site is loading complex content and maybe also popups and adverts.

Thank you.

Yes, it appears at many sites. It is not from loading because the cursor of the mouse freezes, too.

Thank you for the webcompat.com (I will see).
