Beachball when switching between apps

I-Firefox Troubleshooting

Since approximately July 2023, Firefox gives me a beachball and pauses for about 10 seconds whenever I change between it and another app, or between one Firefox window and another. The same behavior does not occur with other browsers, likewise whether my connection is WiFi or wired.

I have No Proxy set in Network Settings. I am running a 2021 M1 Max Macbook Pro on Ventura 13.5.2.

I would appreciate any advice on how to troubleshoot and fix. Thanks.

Does it still happen in Troubleshoot Mode?

No it does not. Thanks for the suggestion. I did not know about Troubleshoot Mode. Now I have someplace to look to figure out what's causing this.
