Downloads Often are Very Slow to Download, and Stops General Searching Until Cancelled

Hello,

Can you please assist with the following download issue?

Firefox often, though not always, is very slow to download files, and when this occurs, I am unable to search by others tabs etc. I can download the same file using Edge on the same computer "instantaneously". Firefox returns to normal operation ~ 10 seconds after I cancel the download.

I unsuccessfully attempted to search for solutions.

Thanks and regards.

I trialed turning off the antivirus, Trend Micro, during two very slow downloads, that apparently enabled the download to complete.
