For the last 5-6 releases of Firefox, Facebook runs very slow and hangs repeatedly during scrolling. I have AdBlock Plus installed (for several years now), I tried uninstalling it and tried without it, but there was no change. Other sites work just fine. No issues on Google Chrome.

My system is an AMD PhenomII X4 @ 3.4 GHz with 8GB of RAM, nVidia GTS250 512MB RAM video card, Windows 8.1 64 bit up to date and Firefox 36.0.4.

Thank you for your answer, but disabling the hardware acceleration didn't solve the problem, the browser still hangs and becomes unresponsive when using FB. Any more ideas?
