Hey soul4u13 and welcome to the Mozilla Forums. :)

Please try creating a new profile and see if that helps.

Are you using the Google website as the startup home page?

A possible cause is a problem with the doodles that Google is currently using on its main search page.

It is probably easiest to choose a different home (startup) page like about:home or use the search bar on the Navigation Toolbar to initiate the searches for now.

You can also try to disable hardware acceleration in Firefox.
