Audio and Video Karma never finishes loading

Last 18 hours or so sometimes when I hit the 'new posts' button after it's been a few minutes to hours since last time I did, I get the please wait at least 10 seconds between clicking this link screen.

Of course Firefox has been buggy for me lately, I just doubled/maxed out my RAM and yet earlier this week I could only load about half the number of tabs that would usually cause it to to start to lock up and act funny....And the recent norm is down form previous versions of Firefox that could seemingly handle 100 loaded tabs with half the RAM I now have...

If I could still use malware-bytes I would given Firefox's recent behavior. But some months back I tried to run it and got an error message that stopped it from running...Uninstalling it and reinstalling it gave me errors on install, and subsequent launch attempts....I either have one mother of a virus lurking on this thing or the assholes that maintain and manage these school laptops have found a way to block malware-bytes (if that is even possible).
