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.

Had the same issue here. Solved it by disabling all addons except the Ubuntu default addons. Might figure out later which add on was the cause.
