Hello,

Try Firefox Safe Mode to see if the problem goes away. Firefox Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode that temporarily turns off hardware acceleration, resets some settings, and disables add-ons (extensions and themes).

If Firefox is open, you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu:

  • Click the menu button New Fx Menu, click Help Help-29 and select Restart with Add-ons Disabled.

If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:

  • On Windows: Hold the Shift key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
  • On Mac: Hold the option key while starting Firefox.
  • On Linux: Quit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run firefox -safe-mode
    (you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)

When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "Start in Safe Mode".

SafeMode-Fx35

If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, theme, or hardware acceleration. Please follow the steps in the Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems article to find the cause.

Note that Adblock Plus is a prime suspect - if you have it. Try https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/ublock-origin instead.

To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.

If Safe Mode doesn't help, this may be a multi-process isssue: Type about:config into the address bar, press Enter, accept the warning, scroll down and look for 'browser.tabs.remote.autostart' and 'browser.tabs.remote.autostart.2' If either or both exist, double click on either or both, to change 'Value' from True to False, then restart Firefox. More - Configuration Editor for Firefox. If no improvement, go back and double click again to revert to default.

When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help others with the same problem. Thank you!
