After updating to Firefox 72 I am seeing these problems:

1) Hangs, and does not respond to keyboard or mouse. Windows does not say that FF is in a "Not Responding" state. I can switch to different FF windows, but not tabs.

2) Sometimes it hang, and render spasticaly like in the screen capture: https://imgur.com/a/oN3FeFd

These issues usually last for a few seconds and happens a few times an hour. I have tried refreshing Firefox as described here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/refresh-firefox-reset-add-ons-and-settings

Firefox is my primary browser.
