I have installed Ubuntu 18.04 on an AMD Ryzen Threadripper 1950x system. Whenever I right click or click on a drop-down list on both Firefox and Thunderbird I have to wait for 3-4 second to see the context menu. Here is some information about my graphic card and driver:

I'm not sure this is a firefox or thunderbird issue or even nvidia at play. This sounds like you have your ad blocker checking things too aggressively or you are just expecting too much performance out of things. Something that also plays a role here is Ram (both total/used/cached and even how it is configured to be utilized. This may sound like a far fetched conclusion however, without any further context into what context menus and other info found in the troubleshooting data this is too vague to make a firm determination either way.

It couldn't be ad blocker because I don't have one installed on Thunderbird. Here is my Ram info:
