I'm now doing most of the online shopping on other websites because browsing through Amazon is a pain.The page keeps refreshing itself after it's completely loaded.The RAM usage spikes.A single Amazon page slows down the whole browser.I tried refreshing Firefox and using a new profile without addons but still had the issue.
- Thank you J. Mackey ! I installed NoScript addon and blocked "images-amazon.com". I don't see images on the homepage now, but the images on other pages work just fine. I can search for products without an issue. The site is very quick now. No more buffering and constant loading. Thanks again !!!

I'd recommend anyone having trouble with loading javascript to try updating and see if it helps. It wasn't mentioned in the Firefox release notes but it appears to have fixed the issue.

NOTE: Updating from 38.0.1 to 38.0.5 does not resolve issue. Once "images-amazon.com" is allowed in NoScript, every page begins to refresh constantly and browser slows down.
When images-amazon.com is blocked, the site is not fully functional. Wishlists no longer work correctly. Additional product images no longer work.
Enabling ssl-images-amazon.com is harmless, does not cause the refreshing issue. However, does not enable those broken features.
