Firefox taking long time to load websites

I am using Firefox on windows 11 I am facing a issue of slowness in Firefox every website takes at least 10 seconds to show up the browser just loads the webpage for a long time before showing any content I thought it was a DNS issue but the same issue is not coming in any chromium browser. I have reinstalled my browser, installed different Firefox versions including (beta,nightly) but the issue still persists.

Please let me know what I can I do to resolve this.

Here is the profiler link

Try changing secure DNS over HTTPS (DoH) to "Off" or "Increased Protection" and in Connection Settings change "Use system proxy settings" to "No proxy".

Do you have Kaspersky security software?

Thanks for your reply I have changed secure DNS over HTTPS (DoH) to "Increased Protection" it did make it a little better than before but the issue still persists sites such as youtube and many more are still taking a lot of time load completely.

Thanks bro, Disabling antivirus made the browser function a lot better and smoother. I wish I knew this earlier. But why is the antivirus slowing down Firefox it doesn't happen in the case of chrome.
