Anthony5 Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 Using the latest Firefox, FB as only site has become a pita. Scrolling doesn't work fluent, typing a post goes with delays, even deleting words is with a delay. I tried flash block already as I thought it was because too many video's on the pages, but it doesn'y make a difference. FB is the only site I experience these issues, so what is the work around?

Chicog Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 Does it happen in Safe Mode? Are you using Hardware acceleration? Or Lastpass? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anthony5 Posted October 30, 2016 Author Share Posted October 30, 2016 No idea what lastpass is so I'll probably don't use it. Where do I check if hardware acceleration is enabled, and if so wouldn't that influence other sites as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know, but I have seen posts where people have complained about Facebook and Firefox and that seems to be the recommended workaround. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-firefox-issues-using-safe-mode Quote If there is still a problem, Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web link} While you are in safe mode; Type about:preferences#advanced<Enter> in the address bar. Under Advanced, Select General. Look for and turn off Use Hardware Acceleration. Poke around safe web sites. Are there any problems? Then restart.

Anthony5 Posted October 30, 2016 Author Share Posted October 30, 2016 In safe mode there the issue wasn't present. Found out that Adguard is the culprit, so unless there is another way around, it is a choice of having FB full of ads or learn to live with the issue. I know which one I'll chose.
