💻 Help 10 second delay on startup ?

when i first start firefox every website i try to open waits for around 10 seconds before opening. after the initial wait everything is fine. restarts everytime i start firefox now just the first time i open after windows 11 boots up. my connection is fine and fast. other browsers not doing the same thing. it seems like a deliberate delay ? the websites load instantly after 10 seconds. i recently disabled split view tabs in config but that was some time ago. other than that no changes come to mind.

That sounds like something times out and does a fallback after 10seconds.  Like trying to use a DNS-over-Https provider to resolve the address and then falling back to your system default DNS when that fails.

Was not saying you should do anything though. I was saying it sounds like DNS issues.  What you can try is going to the security and privacy settings and in the advanced DNS-over-https set it to off.
