Description

Attachment: firefox-vs-chrome-large-json.mp4

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:96.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/96.0

Steps to reproduce:

There is a JSON file, when I open it, the JSON viewer of Firefox does not respond. It depends on the hardware however it seems it is not optimized for all kind of device and users.

Actual results:

The Firefox tab does not respond.

Expected results:

Firefox should decide if the file is larger than the limit just show it as a raw text file like what Chrome does. [Attached video]
