Gmail always wants me to sign back in cursor flickers, words appear in a delay before you can see what you typed. I don't have a virus , or when I ran a few , nothing came up except for pups. Any advice much appreciated thanks!

Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web Link} by holding down the <Shift>
(Mac Options)
key, and then starting Firefox. Is the problem still there?
