Firefox stutters every 30 seconds or so on both videos and even when typing in search bars, is there a solution?

So basically firefox seems to pause every so often for a few seconds and then continue as i nothing happened.

For example, if i am watching a video on youtube or whatever then every 30ish seconds the video will stop and then continue. Another example is whilst writing this question, every so often the screen seems to freeze and then i continue to type and a few seconds later everything i typed comes up. It is just a really annoying problem and i was hoping that there is a solution to this. Can anyone help?

There are a few things to try. It looks like your video driver needs to be updated. We have an article with some information and instructions here - Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL

Also you have many add-ons, each of which uses some memory and some of your cpu resources. If the graphics driver doesn't improve the situation you should consider updating to Firefox 13 and running the Firefox reset - Refresh Firefox - reset add-ons and settings
