Projects stop loading/are very slow to load on Firefox if you switch to another tab or your cache is full.
My browser / operating system: Windows 7, Firefox 66.0, Flash 32.0 (release 0)
Scratch 3.0 is dependent on the web browser itself, rather than a plugin (like 2.0 and Flash), so strange behavior can occur when:

- You switch to another tab
It appears that switching to another tab can occasionally “freeze” the tab you switched from. When you click back on the tab, Scratch gets confused, and stops loading, even though the loading screen is still there. Sometimes the project loads after a while but that's rare. - Your cache is full
Scratch 3 seems to be dependent on the browser cache. Firefox has a cache filesize limit of 1GB, and when this limit is reached (it happens all the time), projects will refuse to load, even though it looks like they're loading.

I can partly reproduce this when my cache hits approximately 337MB. However, Scratch doesn't appear at all. My browser / operating system: Windows NT 10.0, Chrome 73.0.3683.103, No Flash version detected

I'm a year late, sorry.
I use Firefox, Mac OS 10.11 (El Capitan)
Projects will load for me, but when going into fullscreen, the background and sprites will disappear, and only variables (if any on screen) will remain visible.
