Firefox lags every few seconds
Firefox lags for 5 seconds every 30 second interval. It happens when I am using the browser for several hours. Restarting the firefox solves the problem, but I can't just always restart it due to I have multiple tabs opened that I use for monitoring some business stats. Flash player plugin (set to ask to activate) is always updated and I'm sure that it's not the reason of the said issue. I don't have any extensions. What is the problem?
PS: I'm also using the latest version of firefox.
Thank you.

Hello,
Try disabling graphics hardware acceleration. Since this feature was added to Firefox, it has gradually improved, but there still are a few glitches.
You will need to restart Firefox for this to take effect so save all work first (e.g., mail you are composing, online documents you're editing, etc.).
Then perform these steps:
- Click the menu button
and select Options on Windows or Preferences on Mac or Linux.
- Select the Advanced panel and then the General tab.
- Uncheck Use hardware acceleration when available.
- Restart Firefox and see if the problems persist.

That will make it harder to discover the problem.
Type about:preferences#advanced<Enter> in the address bar. Under Advanced, Select General. Look for and turn off Use Hardware Acceleration.
Type about:addons<enter> in the address bar to open the Add-ons Manager. Hot key; <Control>(Mac=<Command>) <Shift> A)
On the left side of the page, select Appearance. Then select Default.
Now restart Firefox.
