Firefox 47.0 hangs when accessing cnn.com

[Bob Willcox]

Hi Grzegorz,

I altered my configuration to match what you list below and rebuilt/installed
firefox. I no longer get the dialog box about the script not working but
cnn.com still doesn't load as expected. It now will eventually complete but it
takes several minutes (I didn't precisely time it, but it's about 4 or 5
minutes) during which time firefox doesn't respond to any input at all. It
does seem to eventually complete transferring data and updating but then
firefox becomes very slow and unresponsive.

So, what is the best way to revert back to version 46? I really can't use
47 with the way it is behaving now.

Thanks,
Bob
