thank you for posting the info - unfortunately the lesser part got cut off since the forum doesn't take that much text at once. i'd also be particularly interested in the content of the "accessibility" section towards the end of the page.
in case it says Activated: true there, please test if this change can fix the performance problem: go to the firefox menu ≡ > options > privacy & security panel and under permissions check the setting to prevent accessibility services from accessing your browser.

hello, could you go to the firefox menu ≡ > help ? > troubleshooting information, copy the contents of that page and paste them here into a reply on the forum? (or if it's to long through a site like https://pastebin.mozilla.org/ ) this might give us a clue what is going on. thank you!

Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web link} by holding down the <Shift> (Mac=Options) key, and then starting Firefox.
A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Safe Mode (not Refresh). Is the problem still there?

thank you for posting the info - unfortunately the lesser part got cut off since the forum doesn't take that much text at once. i'd also be particularly interested in the content of the "accessibility" section towards the end of the page.
in case it says Activated: true there, please test if this change can fix the performance problem: go to the firefox menu ≡ > options > privacy & security panel and under permissions check the setting to prevent accessibility services from accessing your browser.

this appears to have fixed the problem but if the problem returns I will be in touch
