Firefox 55.0.3 slow connection with 'Performing TLS Handshake'
Been having this problem over the last couple of months with Firefox 55.0.3 (64-bit) running on a Windows 10 Pro. It has been so bad that I've often waited for up to 5 minutes while the 'Performing TLS handshake with .......' message displays. Yesterday I installed Chrome. Attempted to connect to a music forum using Firefox that I've had the TLS problem with and as usual got the message. Immediately started Chrome and attempted to connect with the same forum. No problem. Read a couple of comments, replied to one and logged out. Meanwhile, Firefox was still waiting with the TLS message..... A few seconds after I had completed the exercise using Chrome, Firefox decided to connect me..... I have previously tried all the solutions suggested such as emptying the cache, going to No Proxy, turning off IPv6 etc. but nothing has worked in Firefox. On another machine on the same home network, running Firefox 52.3.0 (64-bit) on the esr channel I don't seem to have the same problem, at least not as frequently..... I'll add that I am running both Avast Anti-virus and Malwarebytes. Turning off these had no effect on the Firefox TLS problem. Both were running when I successfully connected using Chrome. I am reluctant to discard Firefox as previously I have found it to be fast and reliable, but something has happened the last few months to dent my confidence.... Just tried it again today to the same site on the Firefox 55.0.3 machine, and it took 85 seconds to connect to the forum page with Firefox. With Chrome, the connection was almost instantaneous..................

Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web link} by holding down the <Shift> (Mac=Options) key, and then starting Firefox.
A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Safe Mode (not Refresh). Is the problem still there?
Started Firefox 55.0.3 in safe mode as requested. Attempted to connect to the same site I had problems with earlier (http://forum.hise.audio/). Performing TLS Handshake to maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com for 105 seconds before loading the site. Downloaded and installed Firefox 52.3.0 (64 bit) esr version, attempted to load the same site (http://forum.hise.audio/) - loaded without problems. Also attempted same with Chrome browser - no problems. There seems to be a problem with Firefox 55.0.3
I called for more help. For now, stay with Firefox 52
A possible cause is having IPv6 enabled.
Try to disable IPv6 (check for other possible causes as well).
As mentioned in my original post, I tried this several days ago! It seemed to work for a few days, then the problem resurfaced......
This is likely caused by Firefox waiting for a request to a server that doesn't respond to timeout.
Maybe check the Network Monitor to see if you can identify this request (check the Timings).
I started having this problem on OSX recently with the quantum version of Firefox. I seem to have fixed it by reconfiguring the Mac OSX firewall to allow outside connections to the Firefox application. It is done through the System Preferences->Security & Privacy dialog, under Firewall->Firewall Options.
