2 days ago my FF3.6.3 started becoming extremely slow/delayed on EVERYTHING/ALL ACTIONS (I have been using 3.6.3 for a few months with NO problems, until 2 days ago). Scrolling going in delayed/slow/jerky 'waves' motion (not smooth & fast), Right-click box very delayed/hangs in coming up, Text typing lagging/intermittent, activity extremely slow/delayed when pointing mouse over anything, changing from tab to tap extremely slow. Bascially EVERYTHING has become sooo slow, delayed, lagging etc. I have tried ALL possible checks (extensions, add-ons, plug-ins, download history, cache, cookies) & viewed nearly ALL the FF help sites. Is this a sudden/recent bug?? It doesnt only happen with Facebook, but EVERY window I open!!

This happened

Every time Firefox opened

== approx. 2 days ago

@ WeLove,

It is only on the internet (Firefox) & started happening about 3 days now... The rest of my pc is ok... It seems many many people are having this problem with FF (a few of the versions- not just a particular version)

Would be grateful for any possible help. Thanks Charlene

I have same problem. When I type I am 3-4 words ahead of what is written. If I type very very very slow it is better. If I type medium or fast the wait circle goes around and around. This happens about 20 times a day with circle. driving me NUTS!! Only foxfire not i.e. I have cleared cache, cookies, etc., no help at all.

The mouse is very choppy too. Only in foxfire not IE.

Help with this problem please.. I am going CRAZY!!

I've personally not seen this behaviour since Firefox version 2. It however re-appeared for me in 3.6.6 and 3.6.7 (current) and it's bloody awful. Makes everything I do take 50% longer ..... great for efficiency in the modern world.

This 3.6 branch is so riddle with flaws which seem never to be fixed. Each fix / update brings with it more problems ... worst of all I see version 4 is already in development but they cannot even get 3.6 right ??? WTF ????

Mozilla must stop chasing version numbers as has become the trend in the software world. Fix an existing version to perfection then start working on a new branch of the product.
