Just installed ver 57 (64 bit). Now typing and scrolling is hesitating. How do I fix this? Never had this problem before.

Updated to ver 57 (64 bit). I have 8G of RAM running Windows 10. Everything I now type or scroll (whether with the mouse or dragging the scroll bar) is now doing a maddening hesitation. I've never had this problem before with any previous version. I did check "Use hardware acceleration when available" and change the content process limit to 5 but that didn't solve the problem. Google Chrome is running fine with no hesitations even with Firefox running at the same time. The only extension that I have is the Video Download helper. The only plug ins that are running are: OpenH264 Video Codec provided by Cisco Systems Inc. 1.7.1, Shockwave Flash 27.0 r0 27.0.0.187and Widevine Content Decryption Module Provided by Google Inc. 1.4.8.1008. I know of no other add ons that are running. It took me forever to type this because of the hesitation. Thank you.

Please consider turning on send info to Mozilla before posting a question. This helps us help you. As you would not had to type your Extensions and Plugins.

Then Tools --> Options --> Performance and untick everything. change the recommended size lower then see how it runs. Hardware Acceleration might have also been a issue so teat with out and then run it and see. Turn other things back on and test it. and repeat. Firefox needs to be restarted after these changes please.

Can also try : Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web link} by holding down the <Shift> (Mac=Options) key, and then starting Firefox.

A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Safe Mode (not Refresh). Is the problem still there?

Please let us know if this solved your issue or if need further assistance.

None of the suggestions worked. Even scrolling down to the "Performance" settings has a lag and delay. For your information, my Firefox Health Report quit working many versions ago. Thank you.
