I'm using Linux Mint 18 and have experienced some issues with Firefox when connected to my home router. It takes ages to load any website, while other browsers such as Chrome and Chromium perform fine. I noticed this only happens when I'm at home, whereas connected to other networks Firefox is as fast as usual. I have already gone through some help pages such as this one https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-and-diagnose-firefox-problems and unfortunately it didn't help. I wouldn't like to stop using Firefox because I really like it. Hope someone can help. Thanks.
