Firefox 47.0 hangs when accessing cnn.com

[Sean C. Farley]

My configuration is nearly identical to Grzegorz's config except for 
unsetting LIBPROXY and setting DTRACE, and I see no problems with 
cnn.com.  It loads very fast.  Is it possible you have an addon that is 
messing with you?  You can try with addons disabled to see if that 
helps.  Also, I am running on an amd64 install vs. i386.
