I have to constantly move my cursor around to make any feature work on Firefox. IE If trying to open a page, the 'running circle arrow' at the top will stop unless I constantly move the cursor! Very annoying! Any help will be VERY grateful!

Start Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
