Typing is buffering

I noticed that after Firefox is running for more then a few days it starts buffering my typing. Lags behind at least 10 - 20 seconds while I type and I am not that fast. I assume this is not normal. Any ideas on what may be causing this? If I close the app and reopen it goes away. Ver 82.0.3 on a Apple iMac.

Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web link}

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


Start your Computer in safe mode with network support. Then start Firefox. Try Secure websites. Is the problem still there?
