I am experiencing delayed reaction in the Firefox browser. I'm currently using Firefox Browser version 104.0.2 (64 bit) and Windows 11 Home (64 bit). When in the browser, all actions are delayed. This includes typing, scrolling, hovering/highlighting, selecting, etc. The delay appears to be a cyclical process. For example, as I'm typing a sentence one or two letters appear, then it pauses for a second or two, then more letters appear, then a pause again, etc. The same type of cycle happens with scrolling and other functions. I have tried two other browsers on the same system without any similar delay. I have seen posts of similar problems dating back many years, and while some fixes were recommended, either the underlying problems were corrected in subsequent versions or the fix action is to a setting that is no longer part of the Firefox system. Please help.

Update: Trying to find features unique to Firefox that could be the source. The problem appears resolved by disabling the Extension iCloud Bookmarks. Will report back if this is not the permanent fix.
