Okay, so imagine this: - You want to go do something on a website, say Bacefook (as a demonstration). So you go search up "Bacefook", and enter. - You use the Google search engine, as it does the job. However, you notice it has been taking a few seconds longer than anticipated. - Your internet times out and returns an unknown host error. - You refresh, and suddenly the website perfectly loads.

Sometimes it even takes more than one refresh to get it to load normally! And this is not limited to the google search engine. It happens on all sorts of websites. There is near ZERO pattern to when it happens to not, and if I recall, it happens on other Wi-Fi networks as well, so this is a client-side issue.

And lastly, I use Firefox 131.0.3, the latest version of Firefox.

Clearing browser cache and/or flushing the DNS does nothing.
