Cookie-autodelete: [Bug] Firefox (Mac Catalina) extension causing hangs (spinning pinwheel) of many seconds

I acknowledge that I have read the above items

Describe the bug

A few days ago I started getting the pinwheel on nearly every page load, with only two add-ons running (CAD and NoScript). I disabled both, and normal function resumed. I re-enabled NoScript, and for several days also no issues. Today I re-enabled CAD, and immediately got the problem again.

Firefox version is 87.0, CAD is 3.6.0.

I'm happy to setup any recommended logging, Wireshark, etc., as directed to help solve the issue. Please advise.

To Reproduce

Open any website (whether whitelisted or not).

Expected Behavior

Normal loading of page without spinning pinwheel.

What are your CAD Settings, primarily the cleanup types?

Thanks for your reply! And, I forgot to say, for the awesome extension!
Core settings export pasted below. Anything else I should share?

Can you try disabling the cache cleanup and see if that does it?

We have had issues come in about the slowness and for most people it was the cache cleanup. I think it is still a Firefox issue if that is the case as all we do is request the cache cleanup for domains and it is up to Firefox to handle it.

Seems to be working, thanks so much! I will close out the issue at the end of the day (UTC+8).

Closing as resolved.
