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).

That file may be created by one of the extensions that you've installed.

All I see is "Default 11.0 (disabled)" when I go into the appearance ... there was nothing about a "Themes" file.
