Browser "locks up" at random times while browsing. I was unable to use control+Alt+Del to close the browser and had to manually shut off and restart the computer. Tried the following: Firefox refresh, clearing the cache, clearing cookies, re-installing Firefox and scanning for possible viruses. All of the above without finding a fix to the problem.

Firefox 40 is acting up for me.

Typed characters are delayed.

Scrolling freezes.

Screen greys out and becomes unclickable.

FIrefox 40, Windows 8.1
