*Affected versions*
* 83.0b5 (20201027175448)
* 84.0a1 (20201027212052)

*Affected platforms*

* macOS 10.12

*Steps to reproduce*
The hang happens very often but unfortunately, I don't have some reliable steps in order to reproduce this issue. This happens when doing random stuff like: open random web pages in new tabs, closing firefox with multiple tabs opened, restarting firefox multiple times, sign in to sync, surfing the web for a long period of time, turn on/off tracking protection, opening from profile manager.


*Regression range*
* I cannot reproduce the issue with Firefox 83.0b4 (20201025174155), I tried multiple times and firefox works fine. I can’t tell for sure if this is not affected because the issue is intermittent and happens randomly.


*Notes*
* No crash logs are recorded in about:crashes after force quitting firefox.
* I am attaching here the Apple reporter after force quitting Firefox.
* From what I saw, leaving firefox open with some pages leads to a hang and the CPU is 100%. See screenshots [here](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1LC8iSWYsXRB0N8jxANldwCyGtW6ZT4KA/view?usp=sharing) and [here](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1VMf12RQfjvSpdGe9ZtlUVAa8iOjKsAN8/view?usp=sharing).
