When I try typing in key word in the search field, the letters seem to hang or are slow in displaying, causing the letters to skip over one another.

When I'm typing in the key words in the search field, there is a delay between my key stroke and the appearance of the letter in the search field. If I type at a normal speed, usually one or two letters are skipped and have to back track or start over. My key words will appear correctly if I wait for a letter to appear before I enter the next key stroke.

Many of my web pages are slow to load, or they time out.

Start Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).

  • Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
