Firefox extremely slow to load pages after startup
Seems to have completely started on its own. I fixed the same issue last week with a proper uninstall and reinstall of Firefox, but this week the same issue has returned. Going back and forth between tabs is also quite slow. I am still running Windows 7 professional 64-bit. I currently run Firefox Quantum 69.0 (64-bit). The same is on my other Windows 7 and Windows 10 PCs and I do not have the same issue. IE and Google chrome on this PC also do not experience the same issue. I cannot pin this to any Windows update(s) or other software installation(s) or updates. How can I fix this and continue to have all the same tabs open up on my home startup without getting this frustrating delay as well as not getting the delays when going from tab to tab?

Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web link}
A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Safe Mode (not Refresh). Is the problem still there?

Hi FredMcD,
The issue did get resolved wheen I restarted FF in Safe Mode, but ... disabling a reputable one from Cisco and diabling one that I have been using for some time called "WX Download Status Bar" on many versions and releases of FF did not help when starting in Normal mode. Removing both also did not help when starting in 'normal" mode. I have same Add-on extensions running on the same OS and Windows 10 Home 64-bit also running FF 69.0 Quantum and do not experience the same issue in normal mode start. Please continue to assist.

Hi FredMcD,
This seems to have resolved itself on its own as disabling and/or removing them made no difference. Now that I have added them back on and that the issue has self resolved they were not causing the issue.
This has been self resolved on its own.
Well, as long as the problem is gone. Safe surfing.
