Steps to reproduce:

  1. Open FIrefox
  2. Go to Wikipedia, and hold down left mouse button on a compatible link for a second to start the link preview for the link

Actual results:

Link previews never gets generated, I allotted one minute for the link preview to finish generating, but it never finishes and in the meantime the CPU usage spikes, stays at a high usage, and fans start to rapidly speed up.

Expected results:

Expected a reasonable time frame that the link preview finishes generating, with no stuck process.

Also noting that on the same system, on Fedora Linux this is not an issue and the link preview gets generated successfully within a reasonable time frame.
