I had to purchase a new wireless router. It is recommended to use a new SSiD name on the new router verses the old one to stop issues with IoT devices. If I use a new recommended SSiD name, Firefox v90 takes well over 2 minutes to load. Google Chrome and Edge load instantly. If I do use the old SSiD Firefox loads normally again but I have problems with a bunch of my IoT devices on the network. I have tried setting the loading page to blank, clean installs, refreshing Firefox and playing with other settings in about:config. (Were does Firefox keep tabs of the network name so I can just clear it?) Is it in the registry? Windows 10 Pro 64 PC - New ASUS RT-AX86U router. Any help would be appreciated.

I don't know why Firefox seems to care about the SSID, I have not heard of that before, and Firefox should be able to switch among different Wi-Fi networks seamlessly (home, work, Starbucks, etc.). ??

Does your new router also assign your computer a different IP address? For example, some routers may use a 192.168.x.y range while others might use a 10.10.x.y range, etc.

Thanks you for responding. Yes: It assigns the Ip's, but as soon as it does, I will go into each device and make it static and also go into the router and make sure the IP's stay assigned to each device it gives the Ip's to. Again it is the only web browser, my favorite since it started, that is giving me trouble. It is really puzzling. It is also the same on 2 desktops, 1 with Win7 pro 64 the other Win 10 Pro 64 and 2 Win 10 Laptops that are Win 10 Pro 64's so it is not hardware based. There are no error codes logged in Firefox that I've been able to find using about:crashes and %APPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\Crash Reports\. I have also used http://detectportal.firefox.com/success.txt after Firefox does it's delayed bootup and I get "Success". Is there any other places to look?
