The update to Firefox 63 was installed on my work PC this morning and now all websites take ages to load.

I checked our connection speed and it's 480Mbps. Chrome opens the pages instantaneously. I tried turning off the new Content Blocking in Firefox and it made no difference.

Any idea why it's so much slower and what I can do to fix it?

hi, could you please check in the firefox menu ≡ > options > general panel that you have set firefox to connect directly to the internet (="no proxy") and see if the problem is still present afterwards?
