Thanks for your suggestions.
The slowdown just occured again, when trying to open a link in Firefox
from an email in Thunderbird. I was able to look at the System Monitor
and view the RAM usage, it went to max again, but there was a process
called Browser which was using over 2 GB of RAM, in addition to
Firefox using over 3 GB of RAM (I have a lot of tabs open). So I
forceably closed the Browser process but left Firefox running, and
immediately the RAM usage went down, and the PC was responsive again.
However, I also had to close Firefox as that was not responding.
I am thinking in part it is a bug in Firefox.
As for the USB device, I still have no idea what the error message
means or why it is repeating itself endlessly in the console without
stopping.

For the USB error, I managed to get rid of that by plugging the USB
mouse into a different port.
For the Firefox error, I found this online which suggests that there is
a problem with Firefox 27 that others are having:

For now I am using Qupzilla instead of Firefox, until the next version
of Firefox which will hopefully fix the problem.
