Firefox briefly freezes while loading a new tab

I'm running Firefox 71 on Linux. I notice that when I load a page into a new tab (either from middle-clicking links, or entering URL manually), Firefox UI is unresponsive for about 2 seconds. During that time, I'm unable to switch tabs--either by clicking, or with Ctrl+Tab. I tried restarting with all add-ons disabled, but the problem persists.

The problem disappears if i were to create a new temporary profile, though. So it's clear that something in my current profile is screwed up, but not sure what. Other things I've tried: quit Firefox, I vacuumed all `.sqlite` files in my profile; cleaned up all the cached images (not site data, though).

I'm keen to continue using my profile rather than create and setup a new one. Any help to trouble shoot this problem is appreciated.

Thanks.

I'd have tried Firefox refresh, but the button on this page doesn't work fo me: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/refresh-firefox-reset-add-ons-and-settings

Hm, I had enabled DoH a while ago. Now that I've disabled it again, things appear to be better.

Edit: Probably not.
