Why does it take two or three minutes for my screens to load?

Starting a couple of weeks ago when I click on a new link it can take two or three minutes to load the page. It will eventually load the page but the lag is ridiculous. I also noticed that as soon as I close the page that isn't opening I do see that page for a second or two before it reverts back to the original page, and when I click on the same link again, it takes me there immediately.

A possible cause is security software (firewall,anti-virus) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.

Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.
