Do you have an extension installed that saves a backup of text entered in a text area?

Start Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

It is the Page Tweak Add-on... It is what has the Textarea Backup. I removed it and my facebook works fine now.
