A FWIW...
When in Safe Mode...
* The status of plug-ins is not affected.
* Custom preferences are not affected.
* All extensions are disabled.
* The default theme is used, without a persona.
* userChrome.css and userContent.css are ignored.
* The JIT/Javascript compiler is disabled.
* The default toolbar layout is used.
* Hardware acceleration is disabled.

So, maybe try another "new" Profile if nothing else is found?

Thanks LIM, that list you wrote is all over my head. But before going to a new user... What should I do/ test?

Again, the issue goes away in safe mode; and I did test my 4 add ons. They are not culprit.

So we can eliminate #3 in your list correct extensions? Extensions is synonomous with add ons right? The other things in list I'm ignorant and don't understand too well but will test, if you think I should one at a time.

Did you at least try to disable hardware acceleration in Firefox like I wrote on page one?
Preferences -> General: Performance
remove checkmark: [ ] "Use recommended performance settings"
remove checkmark: [ ] "Use hardware acceleration when available"

Close (Quit) and restart Firefox for changes to take effect.

Just need to slow down and throw so much quickly too much to absorb.

So all this is brand new, never seen any of this before:

I'll start with unchecking recommended performance settings first. Is the unchecked mode the safe as what safe mode is, I'm assuming? Thanks

Dick, your just doing guessing game. UNless you can say you had the same problem and this solved it. I have brand new $2000 computer.

But also, totally guessing game becuase as I've stated that safe mode solved the issue. What is safe mode solved the issue?

Maybe someone else can jump in and help.

The unchecking of engine thing did not work.
