Pages taking ages to load
Hi all,
I feel like this is a problem that must have been experienced and solved a thousand times... however I've tried all the suggested fixes I can find and the problem still persists.
When I load Firefox the pages take ages to load. It doesn't matter what the page is, it takes ages, except that about: pages load fine, no problem. When I say pages take ages to load, I mean that everything about the page takes ages, not only the next, not on the images and other content etc, everything. This only started happening today and I only created a new profile a month or so ago. I don't have many tabs open (maybe 20) of which 9 are pinned. I do have lots of extensions installed.
I've tried troubleshooting/safe mode, that makes no difference.
Private browsing and loading another profile are fine, they don't have this problem.
I've cleared all cache and data, cookies, etc, including startup cache.
I've deleted the content-prefs file, and removed places files.
I've tried disabling and enabling hardware acceleration.
I've tried disabling TRR.
Probably some other things too, but so far nothing has worked.
Suggestions please! :)

Hi everyone, I can't remember what led me to it, but stopping Google Drive from syncing my Firefox profile folder has stopped this bug from happening again. It's of course possible that something else changed at the same time and was the real solution, but I'm not aware of it. Cheer :)

No, what I meant to write is that if you rename the storage folder, then you will lose all extension data. I don't know if you use extensions that save valuable data in storage as this isn't easy to recover.
Gotcha, thanks, I hadn't appreciated that but I don't think it matters, I've not noticed any issues.
