Typing keyboard delayed response by many seconds and file browser for downloads super slow

Typing anything in the browser is completely delayed until I stop typing entirely. If I type a sentence then no characters appear until I stop tying entirely, so the delay can be quite significant. When attempting to download a file and changing directories, it can take minutes to successfully navigate the folder changes (triple-clicking left side to get a response) and then 10 seconds or longer before it unfreezes and actually begins to download after clicking the "save" button.

Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web link}

A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Safe Mode (not Refresh). Is the problem still there?

I get the same response when I close and restart Firefox in regular mode as well. It works for a short period and then lags once again.

while the lag is visible, could you capture and share a performance profile with us? https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Performance/Reporting_a_Performance_Problem

if you click "share" in a profile, this will generate a shareable link, which you could post here into a reply in the forum. thank you!

Here is a captured profile replicating the issue with downloading anything and extreme slowness in navigating folders as well as the major lag in typing with keyboard and the latency. https://perfht.ml/2PbvgPC
