Warning: Opening the link freezes up my machine reproducibility. I need to hard reset.

I believe that the problem is swapping as I see the disk light on. This is on an eight-core i7 Dell Latitude with 8 GiB RAM, using Firefox 62.0 on Kubuntu 18.04.

Considering that Firefox 62.x seems to be a popular web browser I thought it prudent to warn others before they open the site.
