After updating to 18.0 noticed lag on hovering bookmarks (as dropdown list). Checked in task manager: hovering bookmarks rises CPU usage to 25%, which is for my core quad exactly 1 core used to 100%. Stopping moving mouse lowering this value to 0%.

Disabling hardware acceleration (and restarting Firefox after that) helped.
