I believe it is an issue reading and writing to ram. It didn't do this before the update to 54. I have Ghostery, Script Block, and Download Helper installed. Maybe a conflict with them. I also have this same problem on my desktop PC.

They both are Multicore 64bit Win7 Computers. My desktop is running 2400mhz ram and this laptop is 1600mhz. Both are DDR3 and AMD processors one is an APU and the other is AM3.

I can attach any files necessary. Even Typing in a search engine is laggy and extremely slow. Did a firfox refresh with no improvement.

Give this a try: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/upgrade-graphics-drivers-use-hardware-acceleration You forgot to mention how many gigs of ram, do not need the speed. Please check back and let us know if the above worked, Thank You

I have the most stable version of Nvidia's driver on (desktop)my GTX1060 6gb card, and my system runs 8gb system memory. As well as AMD APU drivers. I play games on both. I don't like any other browser because of the security reasons and stability.

So did you or did not enable or disable hardware acceleration and was there a difference either way after restarting Firefox ?

This is not a fix nor do we advocate extensions give Fat-Free Fox a try after you have done hardware acceleration enable/disable and try it.

Please check back and let us know if the above worked, Thank You
