Keyboard and touchpad freeze while typing
After an update earlier this year I began having the cursor freeze when I was typing in any text field such as in Gmail compose.
Even as I type in this field it has occurred. I was using backspace to edit out a phrase. The cursor remained at the left as ~15 characters were removed. Then both the keyboard and cursor commands ceased to be executed. For ~3 minutes the screen remains locked with the cursor separated from the trailing text by those 15 blank spaces. Then all "stored commands" are executed. During the lockup I am able to use touchscreen to open all other applications, but can not close.
I am in 94.0.2 as I use your auto update setting. I used "refresh" without remedy. I even uninstalled Foxfire, closed the laptop, restarted, and performed a fresh install. The only plugins are the one you install and one from google.
I am now using another browser for all my email work! Frankly, it is apt to become my default if I cannot resolve this aggravation.
Looking forward to your suggestions/tips. Let me know if I can supply further information.
Peace/Out

What (Google) are you talking about? I think you mean extension, not plugin.
Is this with all websites/pages, some, a few?

If there is still a problem,
Start Firefox using Troubleshoot(Safe) Mode {web link}
A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Troubleshoot(Safe) Mode (not Refresh). Is the problem still there?
While you are in Troubleshoot(Safe) mode;
Try disabling graphics hardware acceleration in Firefox. Since this feature was added to Firefox it has gradually improved but there are still a few glitches.

Boot the computer in Windows Safe Mode with network support to see if that has effect.
