Reddit Live Thread loads slow
The below live thread has always, since the start of its creation back at the outbreak of the war (so Feb/Mar 2022 time-frame) loaded slow and continues to load slow in FF (all version since then until now) and it loads a lot faster in Chromium based browsers. I've never personally dug into the page loading, but some aspects of how it renders embedded tweets seem super slow, and that's nothing to do with any changes Elon has made recently to Twitter/X... like I said, it been happening since Feb/Mar 2022 when the live thread was first created.

I just think that live thread is a great test case on where Firefox can measure and maybe improve some page load and render times.

That's not fully loaded yet in your screenshot. The screenshot I've attached is fully loaded with a new profile (borders around tweets with tweet user handle), and it loaded in about 1-2 seconds, although I don't have a timer like you had. You might want to see what's going on with your own profile ;)
However in my old profile it can take 5-10 seconds. I think its a combination of a few add-ons / extensions I'm running. I think I know what the major foul inducer is.
Thanks for at least making me dive deeper and figure it out. I'll mark it solved.

Interesting... Can you provide evidence of the issue? See the load time for me in my screenshot.
Did you try with Firefox in Safe Mode? https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/diagnose-firefox-issues-using-troubleshoot-mode#w_how-to-start-firefox-in-4troubleshoot-modesf5safe-modesf
Try downloading Firefox from Mozilla. Download, unzip, and run firefox-bin from the folder and see if you have the same issue. https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/#product-desktop-release
