FireFox Slow

Ever since the last Firefox update that released, the Firefox on my home computer is extremely slow. Takes 5 minutes to load a page. I open Chrome or Edge and everything loads extremely fast no issues. I do not want to leave Firefox as it is my favorite browser and has been for many years. What can I do to troubleshoot this issue?

Show the issue. Here is a sample of a site load time for me. see screenshot Here is the add-on I use to see the load time. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/load-time/

Did you try Firefox in Troubleshoot Mode? https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/diagnose-firefox-issues-using-troubleshoot-mode#search104

Did you clear your browser cache? https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/clear-cookies-and-site-data-firefox You can also clear the startup cache. see screenshot

You network setup and system info would be nice to know.
