Firefox is taking 20+ minutes to load a page, why?

This morning, when launching Firefox, I was asked to update to the latest version of Firefox. I accepted, and everything appeared to be fine. Then it tried to update my extensions, when I noticed it got "stuck" at about halfway through. I left it for 15 minutes, but nothing changed - so I hit cancel and launched Firefox. My homepage was taking an extremely long time to load, I expected it to be an internet connection issue - but pages load instantly on Google Chrome which I also have installed. I've uninstalled + reinstalled Firefox, deleted my profile, to no avail. I really would like to use Firefox again.

The pages *do* load eventually, but they take around 20 minutes, and I'm not exaggerating. Even Google, which has always loaded quickly, takes 20 minutes or more, something must be wrong, can anyone help? I miss Firefox!

This happened

Every time Firefox opened
