Did you uinstall FF completely and delete the Mozilla folder and then do a clean FF reinstall? Sometimes this will resolve corrupted file issue to make it run better.

Eventually I found that some plug-ins did cause that. I do sincerelly thank you for you help and time.
Can you tell us what you did to fix the issue? That could help others with the same problem.
Also, flag that response as the solution.
Hi, I did disable all plugins by starting firefox in sicure mode (is that the right term? my firefox is speking italian...), that means with all plug ins disabled by default. And it was stable again. I did not check yet which plug in is the cause, but will do so. Kind regards

Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode that temporarily turns off hardware acceleration, resets some settings, and disables add-ons (extensions and themes). If the problem goes away, that tells us one thing. If it does not, that tells us something else.
