Firefox Click Delay When Switching Tabs

For the past 2 days or so, I have had a really strange issue with firefox.

I switch between multiple windows of firefox a lot, copy pasting things. Sometimes it will randomly start adding a "Delay" to the clicking in a new window.

I'll switch to a window, and have to wait a second or 2 before I can click. It's not lagging per say, the tab loads up instantly as usual, but If I click immediately nothing happens.

The really strange thing is, if I click before that buffer, and keep clicking, it still wont register any clicks until I stop clicking and wait for the second or 2.

It's really obnoxious... I do this stuff fast, so the delay drives me crazy.

Sometimes the windows are fine and this doesn't happen at all, but once it does happen, I need to close the window, and reload them to make it stop.

I haven't downloaded any addons, and nothing I know of has changed.

Any ideas?

Nope, still no luck!

I notice if I try to switch tabs and immediately type, it does the same thing as click thing. Until I stop typing and wait 2 seconds it will just not register.
