As has been pointed out above, these problems are triggered in a variety
of situations.  But for me, the most common culprits have been unwanted
scripts running in the background.  I've found that running "NoScript
Security Suite" helps immensely.  "NoScript Security Suite" can be found
here:

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/noscript/

After activating NoScript, you'll need to allow certain scripts to run
for some sites to function properly.

Title:
  Firefox interface is horribly laggy in a variety of situations, with
  delayed scrolling and typing

Status in Mozilla Firefox:
  New
Status in firefox package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Typing is extremely slow in typing in multiline fields. This happens
  with the text field on twitter, google+, blogger. Usually there's a
  big delay between typing and charachters to appear and cpu works a
  lot. Everything works fine with other browsers like chrome or opera.
  Disabling Javascript doesn't solve the issue even because withut js
  it's impossibile to load text fields that make a large use of it. My
  pc is equipped with a nvidia 8400gs m video chip. Let me know if more
  informations are needed.
