I use Mozilla firefox browesr on 4 PCs Recently Firefox on one pc that runs windows 11 OS is very very slow. Other browsers work Ok on that PC Tried the following 1) deleted all cookies 2) in the process of uninstall (via add remove) I opted for the refresh option. No improvement 3) Uninstalled REBOOTED and reinstalled by downloading latest No change

When I reinstalled, system informed me that i previously used F/fox so the removal was not 100%

Would a full removal resolve? And if so how it achieved? If that is not the solution, please advise what to try next

More detail would be useful... Laptop or Desktop? WiFi or Lan? Who are you using for DNS? What security software are you running? Try this tool to see if it helps with connection speed by setting a better dns server. https://www.grc.com/dns/benchmark.htm

Thanks for the info. Can you provide an example site? I cleared my cache and went to Rollerblade.com and it took 4sec to load for me. see screenshot Did you try with Firefox in Safe Mode? https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/diagnose-firefox-issues-using-troubleshoot-mode#w_how-to-start-firefox-in-4troubleshoot-modesf5safe-modesf

Cleared cache and tried safe mode with same results. Whats most confusing that it is so unpredictable Reopened in standard mode and some sites opened almost instantaneously Ten minutes later it is a different story!
