Firefox slow with Twitch

Running the latest release version of Firefox. 102.0.1 64bit. Starting a day or two ago, when connecting to Twitch it is now taking 20-30 seconds for any streamer's window to be visible and audio coming out. Chat takes that long as well. I am also getting the slowness circle during this time. Before this problem I had no issues at all. I've disabled most startup apps on Windows 10 and also tested Twitch by disabling all add-on's for Firefox. No change. Using Brave browser, Twitch is up in seconds so its definitely Firefox. I've also changed to a new Firefox profile and I still have the same slowness.

Also, when I can finally view the streamers camera, its usually frozen for 10 seconds....

I just tried another computer, my old one. Firefox updated to the latest version and Twitch is very responsive and no issues at all. So, I'm guessing its Firefox on my new computer. I will uninstall Firefox, reboot and reinstall and see if that fixes the issue.

Talking to myself.  ;) I used another profile on my computer and everything works well and is very quick, no slowdown. Thoughts on cleaning what is causing the slowed down on my profile? Does Firefox keep items there which are not deleted when removing Firefox? I could just transfer to a new profile but that means setting up a lot of preferences. thx.
