While trying to copy text, firefox takes some time to actually do the task and let me move on to doing something else. While doing this it stops everything running in firefox as if it was working hard to copy a bit of text. My PC works fine in other things, I can minimize FF and go about doing whatever else I want to do while FF is working on it.

Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web link} While you are in safe mode;

Type about:preferences#advanced<Enter> in the address bar.

Under Advanced, Select General. Look for and turn off Use Hardware Acceleration.

Poke around safe web sites. Are there any problems?

Updating the flash I think did it. I couldn't find the Hardware Acceleration.

Thanks.
