I'm using a Toshiba laptop, 64-bit, running Windows 10 Home, 8gb memory. Firefox version 43.0.4.
This is really hard to explain but all these things started happening about the same time so that makes me think they are related. I can't tell if these problems are Firefox or Windows 10 related. Windows 10 has been the OS from Hell since I installed it. So if some of these things are Windows rather than Firefox, please tell me so I can contact them, yet again.
When I open a new window, it brings up the Firefox home page which is what I want. I start typing and I can get 3 or 4 words typed before they show up on the screen. I may be Super Woman in many ways :-) but not with my typing speed. The words used to appear immediately.
Another thing, when I close tabs it take 3 to 5 seconds for them to close. It used to be immediate.
I'm pretty sure the issues above are Firefox, the ones below, I'm not so sure.
If I happen to move my cursor over one of the icons on the taskbar, the little picture appears above the icon showing which screens were open which I like. However, now they don't disappear, even if I'm scrolling through a different application. I have to actually type something in a different application, or select the picture above the icon. They used to disappear when I moved the cursor off of the taskbar icon.
The other thing is that when I right click on the icon on the taskbar, for instance on Firefox, it would give me a menu to either open another Firefox window or close all the windows currently open. That menu no longer appears.
I've closed all the applications and re-booted but nothing has helped. There were a number of Windows Updates that occurred on 01/22 and 01/23 but I don't think they caused the problems because I've only noticed these problems the last few days.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
