at 1st in the Location bar, type 'about:config' and press Enter. Then in the Search field, type 'browser.urlbar. autofill'. Then Double-click the browser.urlbar. autofill preference to set its value to false.

Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).

  • Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window or otherwise make changes.
