Compared to Internet Explorer, Firefox is very slow to load up websites. Why?

I was trying searching through some of the social security websites with Firefox. It would take up to 5 minutes for Firefox to load certain pages. When I copied/pasted the address into Internet Explorer the page came up immediately. Any suggestions?

A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.

Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.
