On a newish install of nightly, I've been getting hangs while browsing m.reddit.com, it is pretty frustrating as most of the browser becomes unresponsive. What occurs is the bottom half of the app goes white then it is impossible to load any pages afterwards even after I swipe away the tab. I'm not exactly sure what's causing the hang up but it is reproducible if you: Navigate to: m.reddit.com Tap a comment link Tap back Tap another link.
Just some added info, the bug only occurs with ublock origin installed. It's likely the problem.
Upon further use, I've ran into the problem without ublock installed..
Hello, I've tested this on a LG G4 (Android 6.0) on the latest nightly with and without ublock installed and I was not able to reproduce the issue. Could you please provide some more information? 1. What device do you have? 2. What android version does your device have?

Sorry, I should have included that: 1. Nexus 5x 2. Android 7.1.1
Hi Demetrius, Tried reproducing this issue on a Nexus 6P with Android 7.1.1 and couldn't. The process took place by using the latest Nightly build 52.0a1/2016-11-08. If still reproducible on your device, can you please provide more information, do you have any add-ons that might induce the problems you have. Thanks
It is still reproducible; except not always at the same time. Only add-on I had installed was ublock origin. Although I reinstalled the app and without ublock it still occurred. The problem is there is no one step that can force it to occur every time. It happens almost every time I use the browser.
Here is a bug report I created when it actually occured. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/12907190/bugreport-NPF10C-2016-11-09-18-24-26.zip the time that it occurred was between 11-09 18:23 and 18:24.

I'm not able to reproduce this either. I tried with a Pixel XL (Android 7.1) and a Nexus 5 (Android 6.0.1). I tried with ublock installed too. Is it possible for you to make a video of this happening? Just to see how/when it occurs.

Hello, You can make a screen recording by using the following steps: - Turn on USB debugging from the Developer options on your phone - Connect your device to any computer and be sure to install the necessary drivers for your device on that computer - Open up a CMD window and write the following without the quotation marks "adb shell screenrecord /sdcard/example.mp4" - Once you have finished making the recording you can press Ctrl+C in the CMD window to stop the recording Feel free to upload the video to any platform you would like and please leave us a link Thank you.
This is how it looks in the video capture: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vP_DS9aRma0 In reality I can see the UI. Another example of what happens during the hang is this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SZ8UqA6MrSE
