[Bug 815984] Re: keyboard/mouse freeze upon visiting news.yahoo.com

[Raleigh Daniel Stout]

Thank you for checking in.  I have since convinced myself that the freezing
of keyboard and mouse at the Yahoo! News website had more to do with
javascript and advertising and tracking downloads.  I now block as many of
those advertisers and trackers as I can.

You can close the bug report.  I was not fully aware at the time I reported
it that javascript, ads, and trackers, could have an impact.  The freezing
of keyboard and mouse probably mean that the browser has not fully
processed all the downloads called for by the web site.

Regards,

Raleigh Stout
