Hello fellow Firefox users, I sadly cannot use my Firefox (120.0.1, 64 bits, Windows 10) anymore as it is too slow to show a webpage... It's so slow, that I initially thought that I have no internet connexion at all on Firefox.

Can anyone help me figuring why my Firefox profile is so slow ?

Long story short:

- Until 2023-12-05, my Firefox was working normally. 

 My parameters were "No HTTPS everywhere" and "No DNS over HTTPS (DoH)".

- On 2023-12-05, I was connected to an entreprise DNS (Mangling DNS). 

 I cannot acces some website because of their local policy, so I changed my DNS parameters.
 I choose to use DoH with Cloudflare instead of the given DNS.
 Internet worked perfectly.

- On 2023-12-06 and 2023-12-07, same parameters, Internet worked perfectly on another network. - Since 2023-12-08, Internet is very slow. It need about 1.5 minute to get start.duckduckgo.com loading on any network. 

 I thought it will not load at all (timeout ?).
 Others webrowsers (e.g. : Microsoft Edge) are correctly working.
 The "ping google.com" command is working normaly on windows with 2ms delay.
 The DNS on windows "Get-DnsClientServerAddress" are the normal DNS of the router.
 Even with reverting the DoH parameter to off, I do not get back my web browsing speed.

Troubleshooting :

- It's slow with "DoH and Cloudflare" activated. 

 It's slow on my home network.
 It's slow on a public network.
 It's slow on another private network.
 https://www.dnsleaktest.com gives me a list of Cloudflare DNS (IPv4) near me, different from the DNS (IPv6) used by Windows 10.
 Meanwhile, Microsoft Edge, ping and wget/curl are working normally (i.e. no delay).
 Noticably, Microsfot Edge use by default according to https://www.dnsleaktest.com the same Cloudflare DNS.

- It's slow with "DoH and Cloudflare" NOT activated. 

 It's slow on my home network.
 It's slow on a public network.
 It's slow on another private network.
 https://www.dnsleaktest.com gives me one DNS from my ISP (IPv4), same value as the DNS (IPv4) used by Windows 10.
 Meanwhile, Microsoft Edge, ping and wget/curl are working normally (i.e. no delay).
 Noticably, Microsfot Edge use by default according to https://www.dnsleaktest.com the Cloudflare DNS.

- In about:crashes there is not relevent crash (only old crash).

- I have not changed any about:config parameters in the 2023-12-05 to today (2023-12-12) period.

- I have run mozregression GUI with no problem. 

 The program oppened succesfully start.duckduckgo.com .
 This website was choosen as it is an allowed website on every DNS.

- Firefox 120.0.1 is saying that it is up-to-date. 

 And as of today, it is.

- I do have some extensions (12 activated) on my Firefox, so I try without extension. 

 It worked but I do not understand why!
 * New profile. Using "firefox.exe -profile" I created another clean profile to see.
                It worked.
                According to https://www.dnsleaktest.com, my new empty profile uses both Cloudflare DNS (IPv4) and the router DNS from the ISP.
                Adding one-by-one most of extensions (6 now) to this new profile do not break yet my Firefox speed.
 * Safe Mode. Using "firefox.exe -safe-mode" I have started my corrupt profile without extension, JIT, etc...
              It worked.
              According to https://www.dnsleaktest.com, it uses only the router DNS (IPv4).

- I can send some result from about:support if needed, but it kills privacy...

Conclusion :

I do not understand why my main Firefox profile is not working correctly. I do not see strange things when troubleshooting. Nothing makes sense.

May someone help me figuring out?

You can run mozregression with your main profile that has the problem, make a backup of it first though.
