F-droid Firefox navigation super slow since last update (lemmy.ml)

Has anyone experienced this? Using my mom's comcast wifi when I navigate to a new site the navigation takes a very long time, like a full minute. Once it eventually completes, I can click around inside the site at normal speed. This only happens with Firefox (I tried installing the Duckduckgo browser and it doesn't have the problem). It only happens on the comcast wifi (switching to mobile internet makes it go away). Using my laptop on the same wifi network has no problem. The issue on Android only started with the last update on F-droid. The only extension installed is ublock origin.

I can make some useless guesses at what might be happening (DNS queries getting hung somehow) but haven't made any attempt to check them with network sniffing.

Has anyone else experienced this?

My two thoughts on this are DNS, too:

The "HTTP over DNS" setting in the browser.
The DNS setting in your WiFi configuration.

But as you've tried DDG browser without issues, it's more likely to be the first option.

Also, any VPN you may be using.

Thanks. The browser doesn't have an HTTP over DNS setting afaict. It doesn't have nearly as many configuration options as desktop firefox.

Can't speak to Firefox on mobile, as I switched to Waterfox some time ago, but the latter definitely has it.

Oh well. I wish you the best in working it out.

Yeah that is not there on the Fennec that i'm using. But, there is a long gitlab thread someone linked to, that discusses what's going on. With luck there will be some kind of fix and meanwhile there are some workarounds.
