I’m using Firefox mobile and pulling up any webpage is very slow. One of the big things is searching using the address bar, has a load time of at least 10 seconds (using ddg as default). Switching default search engines does not help.

One thing of note is that in a private tab, everything works normally. I tested multiple times using the same method as above.

Hopefully this can be remedied with a simple settings tweak.

    Only using ublock, and turning it off doesn’t help. I have ublock enabled in private tabs too so I don’t think that would be the issue.

      What does the FF Task Manager show? Its under the more tools, possibly Shift+ESC (at least on Linux it is). Anything hogging your memory or CPU?

      Edit: I missed FF Mobile, try about:processes

            Looks like I get “Firefox suggestions” in both, but search engine specific suggestions only in normal tabs. It gives me an option to turn that on in private. Would that be the culprit? I’ll try to turn it off and see.

            Edit: turned it off, and doesn’t seem to change anything. Private tabs are still noticably faster.
