Web pages doesn't open. when they do it's a lot slower than using edge.
Hi, I'm currently trying to use Firefox becouse I've heard a lot of good things about it and it looked good. I have some problems that may make me go back to Microsoft Edge.
1 - When using Microsoft Edge in background, I get 0 latency in game, like really 0 effective ms increase even with multiple tabs opened (playing youtube's videos an so on). This doesn't apply to Firefox (neither Chrome), cause I get a lot of latency from just having google opened in the background. 2 - A LOT of the time, when i click on a link, or open a bookmark or just open a site from results, I get a white tab that will not going to load... It just stays there with the correct URL that I've clicked but the web page doesn't load. To counter this, I have to open multiple tabs or even restart Firefox entirely. 3 - When pages does load, I cannot say that this browser can go as fast as Edge. Youtube puts me at 144p, and when I go higher, it starts to buffer every couple of seconds... this on Edge doesn't happen at all. I whatch 1080p video with little to no interruption all the time.

Is this with all websites/pages, some, a few?
Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web link}
A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Safe Mode (not Refresh). Is the problem still there?
It happens with all webpages.
This problem has always been there, even with a fresh Firefox install. So I think it's not caused by any extension. I've also tried turning off hardware accelleration, it was at 7 by default, but I'm getting evident graphics problems now while scrolling.

Undo that change. Back to normal?
Start your Computer in safe mode with network support.
Then start Firefox.
Try Secure websites. Is the problem still there?

Yes, the graphic got back to normal but not the main function of a web browser.
By the way, for as much as I would love to use Firefox as I used to a long time ago, I will not going through all these things just to get me to load a simple page on a browser. That said, thank you for your time and effort, I've appreciated... I'm going back to Edge now, hope they will fix these issues in the future since I see i'm not the only one.
Have a great day.
