- Surface: Web - Browser or app version: Firefox When typing text, characters appear after about 1 second delay. WTF? ---

Hey @ojfd, I can see why the typing delay is frustrating. Could you try ChatGPT in a Firefox private window with extensions temporarily disabled, then compare it with another browser? These steps are included in the [troubleshooting guide](https://help.openai.com/en/articles/7996703-troubleshooting-chatgpt-error-messages). Let me know whether the typing delay changes. If it continues, email [support@openai.com](mailto:support@openai.com) with your Firefox version, operating system, the results of those checks, and a short recording showing the delay. Please keep private chat content and account details out of the recording. ~ Ziad ---
