The way to attack this problem is to run tcpdump on the interface while running 
DTrace against firefox or under truss -d. Simply running tcpdump without the 
other might give you enough information to at least make an educated guess.

Also, ff & friends are especially sensitive to load. If you're doing buildworld 
-j while using ff, don't or give ff a higher priority. I've seen it use 
multiple threads within multiple processes.

Make sure you have lots of RAM. ff doesn't like to have any of it's working set 
paged out.

Affected browsers:

- Firefox
- SeaMonkey
- Waterfox.

Not affected:

- New Moon (Pale Moon) – the waiting period is a split-second
- Chromium – split-second
- Falkon – less than two seconds.

Any ideas?

 shows the waiting period with 
Konsole as the starting point, Firefox as the default web browser.


I can't say exactly when the problem began, but it was long before 
Firefox 66.

I have seen this as well. But not right now so can't investigate.
Could it be a dbus problem?

I also have a vague and incomplete memory of fixing a similar
problem a long time ago by filling out my /etc/hosts.
Though that seems a bit weird.

Start thunderbird from a terminal so you can see an messages.

No message during the waiting period.

Sounds like a tcp or dns timeout, so perhaps some addon.


Reproducible with Firefox in safe mode.

Also reproducible with a user account that I rarely touch (it was this 
account that I used for the screen recording).


Bugging multiple desktop environments, if I recall correctly I 
reproduced the issue with MATE and Xfce.
