When NYTimes come ups, I cannot click into the Log On feature. But it happens with other sites. Also, once I have read down to any point in an article, I cannot go back up. there is a certain amount of "frozenness" about my current version of Firefox that wasn't there before.

That problem can be caused by the Yahoo! Toolbar that extents too much downwards and covers the top part of the browser window and thus makes links and buttons in that part of the screen not clickable.

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).
