When ever I try using new version of Firefox my browser locks up for several minutes. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling but it did not change anything. If I type or scroll it take minutes to show up or move.

hi Daw42daw, thanks for reporting this. could you go to the firefox menu ≡ > help ? > troubleshooting information, copy the contents of that page and paste them here into a reply on the forum (or if it's to long through a site like https://pastebin.mozilla.org/)?

this might give us a clue what is going on. thank you!

It's not a site or a page. It's every site and every page. That would be alot of copying and pasting.
