Cursor movement slow after pasting.

After right clicking COPY, moving the cursor and right clicking PASTE, -immediately- after pasting, for maybe 1/2 a second or so, the cursor is frozen and/or moves REALLY SLOW..... slow enough that if I forget and try to move across the screen, I have to do it a second time to have the cursor actually move.

Is there a fix or an adjustment for this?

It is possible it may have to do with some program or an add-on that you have installed. Are you using any clipboard management add-on or program on your computer.

I would say first try to start FireFox in safe mode as described here: [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-firefox-issues-using-sa...]

If things work fine with no add-ons then just enable them one at a time to figure out which one is causing the problem.

It may also be worthwhile to uninstall FireFox (while leaving personal settings intact) and then re-installing it and perhaps trying to reset it as described in the previous link.

Let us know how it goes.

Good Luck
