Description
As a user of the ATT&CK website, I want to be able to use my favorite browser without negative impacts to the performance and functionality of the site.
The search index takes much longer to load or parse than on comparable browsers (chrome). In testing, firefox finishes loading/parsing in 20 seconds while chrome takes just 4.
The networking panel indicates that the ajax requests take a similar time (400ms) in both browsers so this may be a browser inefficiency in the parsing or handling of the index data. Further diagnosis is necessary.

Research direction
Reproduce the search-index loading and parsing flow in Firefox and Chrome, starting with the AJAX requests and the browser networking panel. Compare request time with parsing or handling time, then document and address the Firefox-specific bottleneck so the index loads substantially closer to Chrome's performance without losing functionality.
