Two Different Browsers Freeze Up
Dell Inspiron N5110
Windows 7 Home Premium SP1
For weeks now when browsing Amazon with either the latest Firefox or Internet Explorer 11, when I click on any product to view its information, the browser will freeze and I must force close it. I rarely ever use IE so its not tricked out in any way. The Amazon site is the only site I have trouble with.
It appears to be scripts on their site but why are both browsers affected? I suspect (perhaps I am paranoid) that Microsoft's insistence on making me install Windows 10 plays into this. Maybe not. I would do it but for some applications I cannot afford to upgrade to support Windows 10.
What Windows 7 files might IE and a 3rd party broswer be using?
Might a repair take care of this? I am very reluctant to do anything for its extremely difficult as a low vision user.

If this is the only site freezing your browsers, then its not your computer. It could be their site is overloaded. I cannot say for sure.
