FireFox takes 15 seconds to load first page
When I startup FireFox, it takes ~15 seconds to show me an page. After loading, it works normal and loads pages within a second, until I completely close the browser, and then the first page again takes ~15 seconds. I've been having this issue for the past few months.
- I tried disabling all my addons - Launched FireFox in troubleshoot mode - Deleted everything in DataReporting\Archived folder - Cleaned out History/Cookies and site data/Temporary cached files and pages - Tried both Default and Max protection for DNS over HTTPS - FireFox is allowed in Windows Defender firewall - Tried setting 'browser.cache.disk.enable' to FALSE - Tried changing 'Enable HTTPS-Only Mode in all windows' to 'Don’t enable HTTPS-Only Mode' - Windows and FireFox are up-to-date
None of the above saw any improvement in loading time.

What security software are you running? Do you have the same issues using a different user account? Window home or pro? If Windows Pro version, try testing in Windows Sandbox (VM) to see if you have the same issue. https://www.howtogeek.com/399290/how-to-use-windows-10s-new-sandbox-to-safely-test-apps/

I am running Windows 11 Education. I created a new profile in about:profiles, which seems to not have any issues. I logged in and let it sync everything with my old profile, and still no issues on the new profile.
So there seems to be an issue in my old profile that is causing trouble. I will just use the new profile, and see if the issues return.
