When I open a new Firefox browser page and then start typing in the Google search box at the top right, the cursor starts there and then gets stuck or moves or stops typing. This is a relatively recent/new experience. Maybe it's doing this while the page is loading, but it never used to occur previously?

Hello, Try opening Firefox in safe mode

At the top of the Firefox window, click the Firefox button,

> go over to the Help menu and

> select Restart with Add-ons Disabled.Firefox will start up with the Firefox Safe Mode dialog.

Note: You can also start Firefox in Safe Mode by holding down the shift key while starting Firefox.

>Clicking the Start in Safe Mode button

will temporarily disable your extensions and themes, turn off hardware acceleration and reset toolbar and button customizations. When you leave Safe Mode and start Firefox up normally.
