How can I make the "Bookmarks" tab on the "Menu" bar respond promptly and reliably when I click on it?
I now see that it does respond (for the time being anyway) but with a two second delay. I was thinking that I had to keep clicking on it--and my repeated clicking may have confused it. I am so used to a quicker response that I didn't notice that it was trying to respond, but slowly. I guess I can live with a two-second wait.

Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
- Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window.
Hello again Cor-El: I did the test you proposed and still found that there was a delay of from 2 to 8 seconds in the response to my clicking on the tab. But, as I said above, I can live with that. jhromer
Do you keep a large history?
You can check for problems with the places.sqlite database file in the Firefox profile folder.

You can check for problems with the sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak files in the Firefox profile folder that store session data.
Rename (or delete) the sessionstore.js file and possible sessionstore-##.js files with a number and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox profile folder.

Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups and open and closed (undo) tabs to get lost and you will have to recreate them (make a note or bookmark them if possible).
