I have been using Mozilla Firefox for a number of years. Never had any problem using gmail in this browser. Since I installed windows 10, typing in gmail has become extremely slow. I have to wait for a minute or so after every few letters. Any solution ?

Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox menu button/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.

  • Switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox menu button/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance
  • Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window

Boot the computer in Windows Safe Mode with network support (press F8 on the boot screen) to see if that helps.
