This has happened a few times in the last few weeks.

## What were you doing?

I was looking at the landing page of AI Help (http://localhost:3000/en-US/plus/ai-help, a local webpack dev-server version of https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/plus/ai-help) without being logged in.

Then I opened the DevTools using Right click > "Inspect" on an SVG element.

I'm not sure if the issue happened immediately, and I cannot reproduce it systematically, so it might have to do with me using "Inspect Accessibility properties" and using the "Check for issues" feature on the "Accessibility" tab, which I did prior to when the issue appeared.

## What happened?

I noticed that reactions to mouse-overs and mouse clicks were slow, and clicking tabs (Console, Debugger) in the DevTools did not have any effect (apart from a delayed hover highlight).

When I closed the DevTools the issue went away.

## What should have happened?

Opening the DevTools should not have had any noticeable impact on overall performance, and it should have been possible to change between tabs.

## Anything else we should know?

## Anything else we should know? 

Here's a profile, which I started as soon as I realized that Firefox was no longer reacting to my mouse properly, and then I clicked the DevTools tabs (which had no effect) during the profile: https://share.firefox.dev/3HYcweL
