User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:77.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/77.0
Steps to reproduce:
Load a YouTube video.
Ad appears before play, with "skip ads" in the lower right.
Actual results:
Tab locks up, "A web page is slowing down your browser" popup occurs.
'Stop it' just waits and then repops popup.
Cannot reload until you hit 'stop it' at least once. Reloading can be done after clicking 'stop it' once, but page will not proceed on it's own. Once you reload after clicking stop it, loads directly to video.
Expected results:
Pressing 'skip ads' should skip ad and load into video.

Hi,
Are you able to try running Firefox profiler [1] before you click on the skip ads?
In addition, would this issue happen on a new profile, or on a private browsing window?
Thank you.
