Interesting. I tried pressing F11 and it didn't make a difference.
I also tried running firefox in safe mode - no difference.
I looked for an acceleration related parameter for Firefox but could not
find anything.

Here is what happens when I run Firefox....

$ firefox

emacs -nw works OK in a console window.
