the site forecast.weather.gov takes 7-10 or more secs to load in Firefox but 1-2 secs in Chrome
I am using Firefox 67.0.4 (64-bit) under OS X El Capitan 10.11.6 on a MacBook Pro 15-inh mid-2010. The site forecast.weather.gov takes 7-10 or more secs to load in Firefox but 1-2 secs in Chrome. Please don't tell me that the MacBook or OS X are old because that applies equally to Chrome on the same machine. Why is Firefox so slow to load from this site?
