Sites not loading with Google Fonts APIs, CDNs, etc.
Running Firefox 98.0.2 (64-bit) Mac OS Monterey 12.2.1 (21D62)
Many websites are not loading at all or taking many minutes to load (bankofamerica.com, maps.google.com, etc.) Maps.google.com does not even load on Firefox.
Usually indicates 'waiting for fonts.google.' in the lower left hand corner, but site never loads. This is happening more frequently, on more and more websites.
Google Chrome has 0 issues loading the same websites. Firefox specific issue independent of ISP. Tried restarting, updating, etc. No luck.

I downgraded from Firefox 98.0.2 (64-bit) to 96.0.2 (64-bit) and everything works fine. All Plugins / Extensions / Settings are the same.
Please check maps.google.com / bofa.com to see if they load 98.0.2

A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Troubleshoot(Safe) Mode (not Refresh). Is the problem still there?

It's not solely on Fonts. It can be from various third-party links added to a web page. For example, on bankofamerica.com, in troubleshoot-mode, it took 20+ seconds to load the page.
