You could try Menu -> Help -> Troubleshoot Mode. That will restart Firefox without extensions and such - if the problem then disappears, it's probably caused by one of them.
Nope. No major changes.
As said issue persists in all gecko browsers it being firefox,librewolf,midori,mercury or anything else. SO it is issue with gecko or something? Not by addons probably.
I used to have an issue like that and mine went away when I upgraded my PC from an elderly HDD to an SSD.
I have 128GB SSD
As others have said, it sounds like a slow disk. Can you share more information?
One more thing I remember now. I installed Gnome theme for FF. But that was 2 months ago. Then Theme was not rendering proparly and I removed it as per guide… Facing issue from then, BUT It is on all gecko based and I removed .mozzila folder atleast thrice. SO,That should not be a problem.
I have 128GB SSD and my system is installed on it. 2 gb ram and core2duo (It was working fine on it). Issue is on all gecko browsers and not on any other.
A core2duo is a pretty old CPU (16 years old). Maybe its just the rest of the world moved on? Modern websites are much heavier than they used to be. Additionally you aren't going to be able to do video playback without a newer GPU. The older Intel only supports old encodings. Also gnome takes about 1.2gb which is most of your ram. You are probably swapping like crazy.
It sounds like this is just an issue of dated hardware.
I don't know what Librewolf default config uses, but Firefox has a lot of telemetry enabled by default. Maybe Librewolf has all of this enabled, too, and some of the pingback servers are slow?
Read here for telemetry and how to disable it: https://github.com/yokoffing/Betterfox
Maybe Librewolf has all of this enabled, too
No.
Issue is on librewolf too which do not have telementry by default. Also on mercury and midori
Is it after an update or is it checking for an update?
Does turning off autoupdate help, if you're on windows?
FF is decent for me, but I've turned off stuff like that

Na I have not upgraded arch from like 2 weeks
Aah. Didn't FF have an update recently?
Did you try that? Maybe it'll help fix this?
And if that does not work, maybe trying out the Extended Support Release would be good?

I updated arch last night. No change.
Probably try ESR
