After upgrading to Firefox 35 on Ubuntu 14.10, I keep experiencing browser freeze every time when I open a new tab. The browser freezes about 30 seconds when a new tab is launched. Is there anyone encountering the same problem? and How can this problem be fixed?

Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web link} While you are in safe mode;

Type about:preferences#advanced<Enter> in the address bar.

Under Advanced, Select General. Look for and turn off Use Hardware Acceleration.

Poke around safe web sites. Are there any problems?

Thanks for the reply. Tried, but didn't work. The freezing is actually trigged when I type in the address bar. I have tried different trouble shooting methods, but none of them works. The browser keeps freezing. There was no problem before upgrading to version 35. Maybe there is a bug. How can I submit a bug report?
