Why does typing or hitting the backspace key while typing freeze mozilla?
This happens all the time. I'm typing and it freezes. I hit backspace and it freezes. It takes several seconds up to a minute to 'wake up" and it's totally non-responsive during that time.

Try to disable the backspace action by setting this pref to 2 on the about:config page.
- browser.backspace_action = 2
You can open the about:config page via the location/address bar. You can accept the warning and click "I accept the risk!" to continue.

Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web link} by holding down the <Shift> (Mac=Options) key, and then starting Firefox.
A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Safe Mode (not Refresh). Is the problem still there?

Thank you. It seems to have cleaned up the problem completely.
