Description Jiri Pittner 2016-09-21 15:55:13 UTC 
I have emerged --update world and noticed that firefox 48.0.1  
is unusable, since there are hunderds of ms latency when typing into URL,
and even worse when trying to scroll in the page. Last version working fine
is 38.8.0, in an otherwise unchanged environment.

I am using the followind addons:
adblockplus 2.7.3
canvasblocker 0.3.1
disconnect search 1.4.1.1
firebug 2.0.17
flashblock 1.5.20
lightbeam 1.3.0.1
magnetiser 0.975.1
modify-headers 0.7.1.1.1
moredisplayresolutions 1.0.1
noscript 2.9.0.14
privacybadger 1.8.1
randomagentspoofer 0.9.5.5.
tamperdata 11.0.1.1
videodownloadhelper 6.1.0
vimfx 0.5.17.1
webdeveloper 1.2.11

Comment 1 Jiri Pittner 2016-09-21 16:01:43 UTC 
It seems not to depend on addons or any user settings: mv .mozilla .mozilla-bak 
and running a firefox then has the same behavior. This time the latency between
clicking into URL line and getting text cursor there was over 1s on a completely unloaded system. When reverting to 38.8.0 everything works perfectly.
Comment 2 Tomáš Mózes 2016-09-22 05:01:18 UTC 
Strange, works properly here...
Comment 3 Jory A. Pratt gentoo-dev 2016-11-03 23:28:12 UTC 
This version of esr is not supported, please update to 45.x branch and reopen if you can duplicate your issue. You will also need to test in safe-mode where addons are disabled to ensure it is not one of them causing you issues
