I noticed this since yesterday. Under Linux mint all desktops have been painfully slow. A scroll of the mouse wheel and 2-5 seconds later it will jump up/down the page. Cursor hanging only when in the window and anywhere else on screen is fine.
Wondering if anyone here is seeing this too. Chrome, IE are fine

    I tried that and it made no change. Also reset firefox, cleared cache etc. Hard to get there with the hangup 
    I completed another x99 build monday and moved a few folding cards to it. New install of mint and even that one is seeing this. 
    I may just use a different browser for a bit and see if others report anything. May be something local.

    Oddly enough I noticed this today on my work laptop, home desktop, and personal laptop. Was starting to think it was a conspiracy of my machines.

    So I found and replaced a 25 foot chew toy of my cats that used to have nice shielding and cat5 plugs on each end and all went back to normal. I cant figure why only firefox was being affected though.

    Glad you got it sorted out.  Seen a lot of weird things over the years.  My wife got a chuckle out of this one.

    This new rendition of FF has always felt like beta software to me...Many features are flaky at best. I switched to Vivaldi and never looked back.
