The problem is not related to portableapps.
Please : go to the Firefox 3 Bar Menu --> Options --> Privacy & Security panel and under Permissions check (put a tick in the box) the setting to Prevent Accessibility Services from accessing your browser.
Monitor in Task Manager. Should stay below 2 gigs. If excessive then do below and monitor and change if need to...Test and go up again , go back down, it will eventually get a zone you and it can live with.
Go to the 3 Bar Menu then Options --> General --> Performance and untick everything. change the recommended size lower then see how it runs. Note: 1 = No Multiprocessor = slow again. Try 2 Restart Firefox after making these changes please.
Note : Hardware Acceleration is for Video Card, Monitor to see if remain off or to turn back on.

Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions ("3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Add-ons -> Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.
- switch to the DEFAULT theme: "3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Add-ons -> Appearance
- do NOT click the "Refresh Firefox" button on the Safe Mode start window
I have 0 addons and plugins. And default theme.
I changed the "Content process limit" to 1 - problem is gone.
If a have 2 or more content process limit - problem appears. Safe mode, preventing "Accessibility Services" or disabling "Hardware Acceleration" doesn't help.
I recorded the GIF with this problem. Opens a new tab "localhost". You may notice that the circular loading indicator tab does not appear immediately. Frieze lasts as long as the tab has appeared, but the indicator has not yet.
