if you open https://www.wsj.com/video/ on your browser, and leave it for 5 days, it will go into dead loop...

Again: Please read https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/QA/Bug_writing_guidelines . What is a "dead loop"? A hang? A crash? In both cases, you must read and follow https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/QA/Bug_writing_guidelines#Providing_additional_information
