When I try to use google or youtube, things just don't load very fast, or stop midway through, and I have to refresh to force things to load in. This is extremely infuriating when I try to use the google search engine something or try to search images, and the browser keeps acting like I didn't click anything. This seems like a Firefox specific issue because both sites load significantly better when I use Edge.

If Google and YouTube are slowing down or refusing to load on Firefox, here are some troubleshooting steps you can try: Clear cache and cookies: Clearing the cache and cookies can often help improve Firefox's performance. To do this, go to the Firefox menu and select "Options" (Windows) or "Preferences" (Mac), then go to the "Privacy & Security" tab and click "Clear Data". Make sure "Cache" and "Cookies and Site Data" are selected, then click "Clear". Disable add-ons: Add-ons can slow down Firefox's performance. Try disabling any add-ons you have installed to see if that improves performance. To do this, go to the Firefox menu and select "Add-ons", then disable any add-ons you are not using.
