Memory leaks, pages not loading, with certain extensions

I'm using Firefox latest version but this has been happening for a long time. At least 2 Firefox extensions have trouble on slickdeals. Zoom Page WE https://addons.mozilla.
Zoom Page WE is the main problem. I can usually load the slickdeals homepage without issue but clicking on individual deals almost always causes the page to hang and firefox to start leaking memory until it runs out. I also usually get a message above the page saying Zoom Page WE is slowing the webpage with an option to stop it but clicking stop doesn't do anything. Occasionally I get that same slow loading message with Form History Control. Again clicking stop doesn't help.
I have tested disabling all my other extensions except for Zoom Page and the problem still occurs. Only disabling that will fix the problem. However I created a new Firefox profile and only installed Zoom Page and didn't experience the problem. So I don't know if it might be a particular Firefox setting combined with Zoom Page that might be causing it.
I don't have this memory leak issue or page not loading issue on any other site. Recently slickdeals rolled out a new design which causes this issue 100%. Before the redesign it was fine. The Classic theme also doesn't have any problems. If I could go back to the design before the redesign I'd be happy.
