Videos won't load in previously enjoyed timeframe or indeed et all sometimes. timeouts when loading pages. speeds are like 15 years ago even in troubleshoot mode and after refresh. when can I expect improvement?

Use this add-on and show the issue. Provide link(s) to sites that are slow for you. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/load-time/ Here's an example from me. see screenshot

Did you try with Firefox in Troubleshoot Mode?

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

What is your setup? WiFi or LAN Laptop, desktop, or DIY? If not DIY, what is the make and model of your computer?

How did you get a screenshot with "load time" info included? When I try the load time info is not included. By the way load times are 12 -30 seconds. Hp Spectre 360 on wifi clean caches etc. Load times on other browsers normal and way faster than what I'm getting now after 129.0.2. yes slow loads in troubleshoot mode also. Thanks for responding.

You should be able to click the load time icon in the bar and then use your keyboard shortcut to print screen. My hp Probook has a "prt scr" key on the keyboard.

Use this to make sure your drivers are current. https://ftp.ext.hp.com/pub/caps-softpaq/cmit/HPIA.html and https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/detect.html

What is your DNS setup in the browser, on the computer, and what's setup in your router? Also, what do you have set for proxy? see screenshot
