Why does FF freeze up or slow load on Mint? (lemmyhub.com)

Recently made the switch to Mint from Windows. I am having a problem with FF though. Randomly but very frequently I see your most basic page load very slow if not at all. I have disabled hardware acceleration as some research has suggested but it still has the same issue. This happens on both my laptop and desktop.

Two potential things:

Hardware acceleration, try turning it of and or on again
IFK why but xdg-desktop-portal-gnome cab cripple some programs like Firefox, remove it

I disabling cisco open h264 helps, and use local ffmpeg on firefox

xdg-desktop-portal-gnome crippled my install as well - both Firefox and Steam took an absolute age to open. Uninstall it, everything perfect again.
