  1. Go to Tools, Addons, Extensions,
  2. select Ask Toolbar,
  3. click uninstall or disable,
  4. restart Firefox.

Please let us know whether that solves the issue.

Start Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
