Whenever I try to switch between tabs (or create a new tab and load a new search/page) I get this spinning, loading wheel before I can see a page. Sometimes this is immediate and sometimes it takes seconds to show me a single page. I've tried putting Firefox in safe mode AND refreshing firefox. I don't know what else to do. This is stressing me out. Please help!

Thank you for any help given.

That spinner only means the page is loading. Don't worry about it.

It is incredibly disruptive, though. Is there nothing I can do to speed up the loading if there is no solution?

I remember a setting or add-on with the option; Don't Load Tabs Until Selected, but don't remember where.

If the loading only takes a few moments, nothing to worry about.
