In Firefox only there is now a 5 second screen delay between keyboard entry and the input appearing on the screen (in Google Docs Gmail). There is much disk activity during this delay. This began about 10 days ago. The start may have began concurrent with a Firefox update. I have been using Firefox for years. This problem is not present when I run the same functions in IE
