All, I tried all the suggestions provided, and the behavior has stopped. I have also logged back into my Mozilla account and that hasn't yet caused a recurrence. I guess either the TearFree and/or the .drirc setting have done the trick. Thanks for the excellent suggestions given my terrible level of detail! No hardware info, no nothing for you to go by...

Hi,
I'd really like to use the Firefox browser (currently using Iridium), but I'm seeing a strange behavior where it "stalls" intermittently. The rendering engine seems to randomly pause activity (i.e. not responsive to scrolling input), and these pauses can last for several seconds. It also appears to affect video playback.
I haven't knowingly done anything with my user settings that would cause this to happen; I have a few add-ons, but they should all be well-behaved (1PasswordX, Facebook Container, Multi-account Container, uBlock Origin).
Has anyone seen this and figured out a solution?
Thanks,
Paul
