I open Duckduckgo and Google in Firefox on my Android 5.1 phone. Usually I have multiple tabs open, but not that many. I start typing, and after two or three characters, the typing freezes. I can continue to type, but nothing is displayed. Then after a while, it catches up and then I can continue to work normally. Then, if I do another search, this doesn't happen anymore. It seems to happen mostly after not using Firefox for a while.

What is causing this behaviour? Is it the keyboard or Firefox? In other apps I don't have problems with the keyboard. The keyboard is Xperia from Sony.

    try clearing cache of both apps. if you're not interested in data, clear data also but it will wipe your personal records from that app so be careful. – Spark Nov 3 '16 at 20:24
