Details

(Whiteboard: [necko-triaged])

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Open a website
  2. Establish a VPN connection (not to your work, I'm talking about VPN providers which allow to change your location/preserve your anonymity)
  3. Try to open the same website in a new tab

Actual results:

A long time out, around 2 minutes, after which Firefox will just ignore your request - it will show the URI but the website will not be loaded.

Expected results:

This also happens when disconnecting from VPN.

I'm running Firefox 96.0.2 downloaded from https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/ on Fedora 35 x86-64.

This bug can be reproduced on other Linux distros as well.

This bug does not affect Google Chrome which immediately detects new/disabled connections and does everything fast.

This looks like a dupe of bug 1706377.

Only in my case it's not 10 seconds, it's almost two full minutes.
