firefox frequest pausing
Firefox pauses and lags for about half a second every 8 seconds whether typing or scrolling etc. Its a complete pause of the browser but oddly enough you tube videos picture or sound does not pause. So it seems to only be input device based. I actually used a stop watch and timed the pauses to 8 seconds. Its been doing this for about a month I think but may be longer and this issue is not happening on any other browser. Any thoughts?

Sometimes a problem with Firefox may be a result of malware installed on your computer, that you may not be aware of.
You can try these free programs to scan for malware, which work with your existing antivirus software:
- Microsoft Safety Scanner
- MalwareBytes' Anti-Malware
- Anti-Rootkit Utility - TDSSKiller
- AdwCleaner (for more info, see this alternate AdwCleaner download page)
- Hitman Pro
- ESET Online Scanner
Microsoft Security Essentials is a good permanent antivirus for Windows 7/Vista/XP if you don't already have one. Windows 8 has antivirus built-in already.
Further information can be found in the Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware article.
