Very slow to open emails and browser

System: Oldish desktop i5 3470, 16 gb ram
Manjaro 23.0.0
Cinnamon 5.6.8
Kernel 5.15.114-2
Problem apps: Firefox 113.0.1, Evolution 3.48.1

Hi, recently I noticed that opening an email that contains links to images (ie. news articles) takes a long time (up to 2 minutes)? Initially I thought the email was broken (wrong or missing links, etc…) and I ask the provider to re-send it - but there was no difference? I then though it’s just a slow internet connection, but a speed test proved that wrong! I then try to open the same email in a browser using my webmail (SmarterMail) and it opens almost instantly! I then thought something wrong with ‘Evolution’ But now, after the latest system update, I have the same issue with ‘Firefox’ some website (that used to open within a few seconds) now take upto 2 minutes to open?? Any idea what could be causing that? Thanks
