Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions ("3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Add-ons -> Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is is causing the problem.
- switch to the DEFAULT theme: "3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Add-ons -> Appearance
- do NOT click the "Refresh Firefox" button on the Safe Mode start window

This can also be a problem with the sessionstore file(s) that take too long to update. You can check browser.sessionstore and try to increase the value of this pref (default is 15 sec.).
- browser.sessionstore.interval
You can open the about:config page via the location/address bar. You can accept the warning and click "I accept the risk!" to continue.
Thanks you for your response. I followed the above directions. That did NOT help, right / left arrows are still jerky. All other keys seem fine, just the right and left arrow keys. The following small html/javascript shows the problem:
