Havving issue with google docs, and sheets loading with FireFox

For the last four or five months with every update to Firefox I've had loading issues with Google Docs and Google Sheets and Google Drive and just in general the entire Google suite. I'm wondering if there is something going on on the Firefox side because it feels like a client issue I do not have these kind of loading issues on brave, on Google Chrome, on safari. But I'd continue to use Firefox because for my work I need to be able to understand how the websites I help update our functioning on Firefox. But additionally, because I prefer a Firefox over Google Chrome or Safari, in terms of interact ability and data privacy. What is going on with Firefox? This is absolutely no within the last four-ish months of Firefox is consistent updates.

Same here — it’s definitely a Firefox-side issue that started in recent updates. Clearing cache and disabling hardware acceleration helps a bit, but it still loads slower than Chrome or Brave. Hope Mozilla fixes this soon because Firefox deserves better performance!

I completely agree — I’ve also faced similar issues recently, especially with Google Docs and Drive taking too long to load. On  websites button layouts and responsiveness also appear inconsistent on Firefox Mobile, while they look perfect in Chrome, check this out. No doubt, Firefox remains the best browser for privacy and user control, but these loading and rendering bugs really need attention.

Same here. I've been a diehard Firefox user for 20 years, but I'm now losing my patience and will move on, probably to Brave. It's been months of having to restart my browser a couple times a day to clear issues with web pages hanging, especially Google Workspace apps. I'd file a formal bug if I had a meaningful reproduction or clear error message. I have neither. It happens at random - I get the blue shifting loading dot that never clears, I'll see it trying to load content from gstatic.com or similar, then certain feature (like the share menu) break entirely. I have all ad blocking disabled.
