Significant urls Lag/Delay when typing into Address/Search bar

Websites are fine, but if I open up the address/search bar firefox instantly begins to lag and there is a serious (5 seconds or so) delay between typing and the text appearing.

I have tried disabling search features (search from history, search bookmarks), I have tried disabling add-ons, and I have tried clearing the app cache

Weirdly enough, this problem persists on Firefox Nightly, which I had never downloaded before just now.

Please help.

Hi

Please make sure you have the latest version of Firefox for Android. Also, try clearing cached storage, which will be similar to: open Android Settings, tap “Apps”, find “Firefox” and clear the cached storage (not data!). If this doesn’t work for you (and the problem persists), please come back here and we can look into a different solution for you.

Okay, not even seconds after posting this the problem has vanished as suddenly as it appeared, but I haven't made any changes in the past 15 minutes at least (to firefox, firefox nightly, or any of the settings on my phone)

If anyone has encountered a similar problem I would appreciate insight on how to resolve it should it arise again.
