Not continuously, but repeatedly. Closing it and restarting it
usually helps. For a while.
I too have deserted to other browsers, but not for long. Iceweasel is
the only browser which I know how to view with no style, and I need
no style to be able to read many modern sites. So I just groan and
restart it.
