Hi :) Just a quick google search gave me a couple results to try out and a forum to post questions in.
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1013828 http://lifehacker.com/disable-firefoxs-hardware-acceleration-to-fix-slowness-749344037 But i've not tried them yet and my machine is behaving remarkably well today anyway so the result might not be immediately obvious.
