Firefox stop (frozen, or something) several times (about 3s per time and repeatly, it's like fps drop in game) Take a look at these videos: https://youtu.be/_f6GouU5XQE (I keep scrolling up and down all the time in this video) https://youtu.be/8UFFohw0wY0

And sometimes when I open facebook, this is what happen: https://youtu.be/7kNfbXGCb9Y

Hi, try Firefox Safe Mode to see if the problem goes away. Firefox Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode that temporarily turns off hardware acceleration, resets some settings, and disables add-ons (extensions and themes).

If Firefox is open, you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu:

  • Click the menu button New Fx Menu, click Help Help-29 and select Restart with Add-ons Disabled.

If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:

  • On Windows: Hold the Shift key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
  • On Mac: Hold the option key while starting Firefox.
  • On Linux: Quit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run firefox -safe-mode
    (you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)

When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "Start in Safe Mode".

If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, theme, or hardware acceleration. Please follow the steps in the Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems article to find the cause.

To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.

When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help others with the same problem. Thank you!

I've followed these step and it's likely caused by an extension(s). I'm still looking for the extension that cause the problem. It will not happen right after I opened firefox so it might take a day to check all my extensions.

Right now I have my Greesemonkey and Image Zoom disabled and firefox are running well so I think 1 of them may cause the lag.

Btw, thank you for your help :D
