OS: Windows 10-64 Home or Windows 10-64 Pro Version 20H2 (OS Build 19042.685) with all current updates Firefox: 84.0.2 (64-bit)


For about a week now a few websites are taking a long time to load on my 4 PCs (examples: ebay.com, walmart.com, pch.com). If I click the link on the search page it takes almost 30 sec to load, right click and open in a new tab same time, and open a new tab and type or paste address the same amount of time. Most other website open almost immediately.

The issue does not resolve in safe-mode or if I manually disable add-ons. I'm using the default theme.

All websites load without issue on Chrome and Edge.

None of those solutions apply to my issue.

Start your Computer in safe mode with network support. Then start Firefox. Try Secure websites. Is the problem still there?

Same problem in safemode. If I didn't mention this before, my laptop PC has a brand new install of Windows 10 (had to replace the hard drive) and a fresh install of FireFox (downloaded right off the Mozilla servers) and it exhibits the identical problem.

I know I didn't do anything to fix this, but the issue is gone today (no telling about tomorrow).
