When I attempt to type in the subject for email the typing is always delayed in appearing, but typing is normal otherwise. How do I get the subject line to stop being so slow to show the key stroks when typing?

This can be a problem with saved form data.

Does it still happen when you disable that feature?

  • Tools > Options > Privacy > History: "Remember search and form history"

To see all the History and Cookie settings, select:

  • Tools > Options > Privacy > History: Firefox will: "Use custom settings for history"

This issue can also be caused by an extension that isn't working properly.

Start Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
