Firefox browser times out when searching or using favourites sites
Hi When I try to access websites I usually get a time out message, this seems to happen to all sites now. I have recently purchased a new HP laptop but I had the same issue with my old laptop. Edge loads fast and I have no issues with it but would prefer Firefox.
I use a windows 10 machine

Have your ISP test your service.
Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web link}
A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Safe Mode (not Refresh). Is the problem still there?
That fixed the problem sort of but I don't want to have to do that each time I want to use the laptop and this has only been an issue for the last month or two, did not have the issue when I bought the laptop late last year
It could be the work of one of your add-ons, or it could be Hardware Acceleration. How to disable Hardware Acceleration {web link}
Type about:addons<enter> in the address bar to open your Add-ons Manager. Hot key; <Control> (Mac=<Command>) <Shift> A)
In the Add-ons Manager, on the left, select Extensions. Disable a few add-ons, then Restart Firefox.
Some added toolbar and anti-virus add-ons are known to cause Firefox issues. Disable All Of them.
If the problem continues, disable some more (restarting FF). Continue until the problem is gone. After, you know what group is causing the issue. Re-enable the last group ONE AT A TIME (restarting FF) until the problem returns.
Once you think you found the problem, disable that and re-enable all the others, then restart again. Let us know who the suspect is, detective.
