Somewhere in time.
Maybe an update did it, but for the past few weeks FF has been extremely slow. Takes minutes to load a web page. Chrome does it in under a second. I uninstalled and re-installed but that didn't help; though it did say it is preserving my settings, bookmarks etc. I don't remember seeing an option to obliterate everything and start over.

I use FF for SF, YT and a few other web sites, and Chrome for everything else. Chrome doesn't seem to be good at remembering cookies when defined as an exception, like SF, so I don't have to login again & again. That's because both browsers are set to clear all cookies and cache on browser exit, except of course the exceptions.

Look under Settings --> Privacy & Security --> DNS over HTTPS. Try turning that on or off to see if that makes a difference.
