Firefox lag

Ask Fedora

I have noticed a recent behaviour with Firefox. The firefox window and web content will hang or freeze momentarily. The mouse cursor will move over the window but not change when over a link. Arrow or page up/down keys are cached. After a few seconds, the web page acts normally - links are clickable, any key strokes that were get executed. Not sure what the cause is but it is recent.

This is on a fedora 40 workstation, nvidia card with rpmfusion-based driver. All rpms current.

This mildly annoying only.

best regards

As an update, it seems that this hang/lag happens when I click on an existing tab or open a link in a new tab. Content of the tab is basically frozen for the first 10 seconds or so. Very unusual and fairly recent occurrence.
