Firefox Click Delay When Switching Tabs
For the past 2 days or so, I have had a really strange issue with firefox.
I switch between multiple windows of firefox a lot, copy pasting things. Sometimes it will randomly start adding a "Delay" to the clicking in a new window.
I'll switch to a window, and have to wait a second or 2 before I can click. It's not lagging per say, the tab loads up instantly as usual, but If I click immediately nothing happens.
The really strange thing is, if I click before that buffer, and keep clicking, it still wont register any clicks until I stop clicking and wait for the second or 2.
It's really obnoxious... I do this stuff fast, so the delay drives me crazy.
Sometimes the windows are fine and this doesn't happen at all, but once it does happen, I need to close the window, and reload them to make it stop.
I haven't downloaded any addons, and nothing I know of has changed.
Any ideas?

Any new addons that is.
go to Help Menu -> select "Restart with Add-ons Disabled"
Firefox will close then it will open up with just basic Firefox. Now do this:
-> Update ALL your Firefox Plug-ins https://www.mozilla.com/en-US/plugincheck/
-> go to View Menu -> Zoom -> click "Reset"
-> go to View Menu -> Page Style -> select "Basic Page Style"
-> go to View Menu -> Toolbars -> unselect all unwanted toolbars
-> go Tools Menu -> Clear Recent History -> Time range to clear: select EVERYTHING -> click Details (small arrow) button -> place Checkmarks on ALL Options -> click "Clear Now"
-> go to Tools Menu -> Options -> General -> When Firefox starts : select "Show My Home Page" -> Type the address of the website which you want to be your HomePage e.g. http:www.google.com -> place Checkmark on "Show the Downloads window when downloading a file" -> select Radio Button option2 "Always ask me where to save files"
-> go to Tools Menu -> Options -> Content -> place Checkmarks on:
1) Block Pop-up windows
2) Load images automatically
3) Enable JavaScript
-> go to Tools Menu -> Options -> Privacy -> History section -> Firefox will: select "Use custom settings for history" -> PLACE CHECKMARKS on:
1) Remember my Browsing History
2) Remember Download History
3) Remember Search History
4) Accept Cookies from sites -> select "Exceptions..." button -> Click "Remove All Sites" at the bottom of "Exception - Cookies" window
4a) Accept Third-party Cookies -> under "Keep Until" select "They Expire"
-> REMOVE CHECKMARK from CLEAR HISTORY WHEN FIREFOX CLOSES
-> go to Tools Menu -> Options -> Security -> place Checkmarks on:
1) Warn me when sites try to install add-ons
2) Block reported attack sites
3) Block reported web forgeries
-> Click OK on Options window
-> click the Favicon (small drop down menu icon) on Firefox SearchBar (its position is on the Right side of the Address Bar) -> click "Manage Search Engines" -> select all Unwanted Search Engines and click Remove -> click OK
-> go to Tools Menu -> Add-ons -> Extensions section -> REMOVE All Unwanted/Suspicious Extensions (Add-ons) -> Restart Firefox
You can enable your Known & Trustworthy Add-ons later. Check and tell if its working.
Looks like it's still happening after all that =/
go to Tools Menu -> Add-ons -> Appearance section -> Enable Default Theme -> Restart Firefox
Check and tell if its working.
Nope, still no luck!
I notice if I try to switch tabs and immediately type, it does the same thing as click thing. Until I stop typing and wait 2 seconds it will just not register.
Experiencing " resource.com " download delays. Don't have time for this _ _ _ t. ! !
