Here is the issue; there is a delay on the action of the computer after I do things. Examples: when I scroll down a page (home page) or the page of an article I opened to read, the page will stop/pause for a couple of seconds then start to scroll once again. When I am typing in my email, I can type and the cursor/words will pause and then finally catch up to my typing. There are also times when I tap on an icon on my favorites bar, and there is a delay for the page to open or tap on the "X" to close out a document and a delay. Very frustrating.

Thanks for any anticipated help, Dean

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