When I middle click on a link to open it in a new tab, my mouse cursor freeze (feels like the whole computer) for 1 or 2 seconds.

Also, I noticed, when FF is close and I open it, it also freeze for 1 or 2 seconds.

My install is kinda vanilla. Added UBlock and Lastpass only.

OK I tried everything in there.

Looks like a CPU problem. But I am running a new Dell laptop with 16GB and an i7-7700HQ.

Start your Computer in safe mode with network support. Then start Firefox. Try Safe websites. Is the problem still there?
