long pause before loading pages
Hi, I have a problem with your browser. 95.0 (64-bit) win 10 pro. The very first time I open firefox and enter search, the browser is idle for about 20-30 seconds, and only then it load the page. After that, every other websites, new tabs and everything else works fine. But if I close the browser, and open it again, same thing happens, I have to wait about 20-30 before first website or search results are loaded.

Is this with all search engines? What engine are you using?
ipconfig shows: Connection-specific DNS Suffix . : lan but there is no number for dns.
it seems it happens only with google search (have not tried others), but if I enter direct adress like www.something.com it opens right away.
You need to add something for DNS. it would help with performance is the provider is close to you. Try this tool and then pick a dns provider. I use Cloudflare 1.1.1.1 / 1.0.0.1, but you will have to find one that works best for your location.
thanks for advice. I've ran the benchmark, entered the dns values, but no result. First search is still idle for 30-40 s. Same with my laptop on the same network. (both wifi)
I will assume you also put the same DNS values in your router? Can you also download different version of Firefox just to test. https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/#product-desktop-developer
Also, what security software are you using? Did you ever run Firefox in Safe Mode and also try running Windows in Safe Mode to see if there is any difference. Can you also try plugging into your network to see if it makes a difference.
