Lately, when I visit a Wikipedia page, it just doesn't stop
loading. The indication in Firefox (on Linux) just continued
to spin. But this stopped when I deactivated the mwEmbed gadget.
Is something broken? When mwEmbed is activated, the bottom
of my browser says "Connecting to
prototype.wikimedia.org ..."
This was observed on
sv.wikipedia.org.
Several other gadgets work just fine.

AFAIK its replaced by a extension anyway, see

I don't think so. The gadget allowed the use of the Add Media Wizard,
as described on
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Enable_the_Add_Media_Wizard#Add_Med…
but I don't see the feature being added to the edit toolbar by the
extension.
That feature never worked right, so it was probably left out. There are
still lots of cool usability improvements to the edit window from 2008 that
haven't been enabled or used, but in a custom install, they can be turned
on and some are quite nice.
The video player still looks ugly (by the way) compared to a YouTube/Vimeo
or even a standard Kaltura player...
