Firefox 47.0 hangs when accessing cnn.com

[Grzegorz Junka]

Hi Bob,

I don't believe it's possible to revert ports to a previous version 
(other than through SVN). However, if you have the older version of the 
firefox package (e.g. 
/usr/local/poudriere/data/packages/your-system/All) you should be able 
to just point pkg to it.

But before doing that I would suggest to reset your Firefox settings 
just in case this problem is caused by an extension or other improper 
configuration (e.g. by renaming the .mozilla/firefox folder or using the 
FF setting that I don't remember now). You could also try to open 
cnn.com in a private window where the plugins are disabled by default.
