Google dot com (that URL ONLY) is SLOOOOOOOW on Firefox
This has been asked here before but I've tried EVERYTHING that was offered that time, none worked.
I've used Firefox since the start, and before, I used Netscape in the 90s. I'm ready to move to another browser forever if I can't fix this. Can anyone help please?
Only thing that worked was dumb workaround of changing my Home URL from https://www.google.com (which takes about 60 seconds to do a search) to https://www.google.com/search?q=BipTunia
The second works. (Was the last search I'd done, it worked, so I used it. Works fast if I delete the word it puts in the search field, do my new search and hit Enter)
I'm on Win 10, latest version (117). Fast computer, no viruses. All other programs closed.
Search on main Google URL works fine with same Google account on other browsers, not Firefox.
I HAVE TRIED ALL OF THESE (WITH NO JOY), plus rebooting Firefox every times;
--Cleared all cache, data and cookies. --Reset Firefox --Tried Firefox in Safe Mode --Signed in with different Google account. --Signed out of Google account. --Reinstalled Firefox --Tried with and without Hardware Acceleration on --Changed default Firefox Theme

Kaspersky can cause performance issues if you have "Inject script into web traffic to interact with web pages" enabled and don't have the companion browser extension installed.
EDIT: TURNING THAT OFF WORKED! FIXED IT. THANK YOU!
Anyone: here's how to turn that off: https://forum.kaspersky.com/topic/how-do-i-stop-script-injection-14726/
Zeroknight, that is the most specific answer I've received anywhere on this. I use Kaspersky and not the browser extension. I bet that's it. Thank you.
I found directions to edit that, but doesn't seem to apply to free version. Do you know how to turn that "feature" off in Kaspersky if I don't add the browser extension?
I did pause Kaspersky protection, restarted Firefox, and still had the exact same issue.
That browser extension seems sketchy. This is an ABSURD amount of permissions to give anything.

Hi
Is it only Google.com where you have this issue?
Kaspersky can cause performance issues if you have "Inject script into web traffic to interact with web pages" enabled and don't have the companion browser extension installed.
Paul, yes, only that exact URL.

It says "A moderator must manually approve your post before it will be visible" because I put in a link to the solution.
But the answer is absolutely...in Kaspersky, turn off: "Inject script into web traffic to interact with web pages
Google it, it's easy to find how to do that. It's in the Network section of Kaspersky.

Thank you for contacting Mozilla Support.
THIS IS THE ANSWER FOR THIS ISSUE.
It's been asked on this forum several times and Zeroknight's very specific answer here is the right fix. And it is not answered the other places on this forum where it's been asked.
The bug seems to be a Kaspersky issue more than a Firefox issue, though possibly both....As Kaspersky doesn't have this issue on the other browsers I use on the same machine.
(Maybe FireFox could fix this bug with on Kaspersky on the FireFox end?)
