I have tried resetting Firefox to no avail. Microsoft Edge accesses the same web pages very quickly, so I know it's not my connection. Firefox is taking about 3-5 seconds to resolve a URL, as long as 8 seconds to load a page.

I discovered an update to Firefox was pending when closing the app. Upon reloading Firefox I found the problem resolved.
