First Tab Slow to Open

After booting up my computers in the morning and starting Firefox for the first time when trying to load the first link it takes up to a minute for the page to load. After that all tabs load very quickly. I've tried shutting down all extensions but that doesn't help. It doesn't matter what link I try to open first it's always slow opening the first tab. Any idea what might be happening ? Again performance is just fine once the first Tab opens. Thanks for the assistance. Win 10 Pro 64 bit, FF 67.01 64 bit

....and right after I made the post above Firefox ONCE AGAIN completely locked up my Win 10 Pro system. Mouse stops working, keyboard stops working, ctrl+alt+del does not work. Completely LOCKED UP. The only solution is to hit the power switch and do a hard reboot. Unacceptable. How far does FF have its hooks into our systems that it can completely LOCK UP a system ? As much as I hate Chromium based browsers it's time top drop Firefox which I have used for over 15 years. Get your act together Mozilla.
