From the 2016-09-05 thread:

Just for info, For the people that, like me, had constant "micro-hangs" every couple of seconds when browsing around, in my case, the add-on "Self-Destructing Cookies" was the cause.
Since I dumped this add-on, no more constant hiccups and browser hangs for a couple of hours now.
Forget about above, they are back although less frequent.

Could be a contributing factor, though, the root cause may be something else.

Have you seen the issue in a brand new profile?

I'm in the process of "building up to my likings" the new profile, so far runs fluent.

Something off-topic to this issue. Is it normal, when using a portable version of nightly with it's own profile (I have the stable installed normally) that about:profiles sees the wrong profile as being in use (it tells me it is using the one that is used by the release version), while about:support DOES correctly recognize my separate portable nightly profile in use when I click "Show Folder" ?
I wonder how much of the FF-internals wrongly detect the actual profile folders and screw up both the regular stable and the portable nightly that way.

I suspect the internals rely on the registry, which makes using a normal install + a separate portable install the perfect recipe for disaster, no matter how clean one tries to keep their browsers, and no matter how good one sticks to the rules about installing a portable version.

Firefox portable shoud only see the profile that is shown in the FirefoxPortable.ini file. The contents of that file are

[FirefoxPortable]
FirefoxDirectory=App\firefox
ProfileDirectory=Data\profile
SettingsDirectory=Data\settings
PluginsDirectory=Data\plugins
FirefoxExecutable=firefox.exe
AdditionalParameters=
LocalHomepage=
DisableSplashScreen=true
AllowMultipleInstances=false
DisableIntelligentStart=false
SkipCompregFix=false
RunLocally=false

# The above options are explained in the included readme.txt
# This INI file is an example only and is not used unless it is placed as described in the included readme.txt

Yeps, so looks mine, however about:profiles shows the 3 profiles of my "normal" stable FF install.

Maybe someone can confirm that about:profiles is "hard coded" to look at the defined location for Firefox profiles (default: C:\Users\(users_name)\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles in win7).

Opening this BBC News page in a new tab hung my browser. The page started very zoomed in, then went back to normal.

@ Peja Stija & WildcatRay - I would say it still a Firefox regression, even if some addon is causing this, as it didn't happen before
Peja Stija maybe if you have reliable STR, could you get it on Gecko Profiler?

I believe this is the expected behavior, I do see Developer Edition and Nightly in there.
