New Desktiop with Windows 10. Newly installed FF70. ONLY in FF do the keystokes lag when typing ANYwhere (Like now) Tried numerous things - Refresh, Troubleshoot & Uninstall & re-install. All other software (MS Office - notepae) woeking just fine. NOTE: because of my vision my Theme in Windows 10 is "High Contrast B&W". My old destop is still working fine. With this new install of FF70 I am not able to even change colors.

Do you possibly have other accessibility features enabled in the Windows settings that affect the typing speed ?

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 -> Themes
  • do NOT click the "Refresh Firefox" button on the Safe Mode start window

Note that Firefox 71 has been released today, so you can give that version a try.

Hi Cor-el Thanks for all the info/suggestions. None worked. So I started exploring and found the solution as follows: Search & Select " Add, edit or remove Users" Select "Sign in Options" Under "Require sign-in" Select "Never" and Exit Problem solved!
