When I press share to Twitter or Facebook.. I get the dialog box and start typing. Then, while this is going on the typing slows down and the dialog box continues to expand larger and larger and the typing get slower.

Very frustrating and maddening

In Firefox Safe mode these changes are effective:

  • all extensions are disabled (about:addons)
  • default theme is used (no persona)
  • userChrome.css and userContent.css are ignored (chrome folder)
