Why are Mozilla Firefox speedtest results consistently 700 Mbps?
Speedtest.net results using Google Chrome are consistently 700+ Mbps, but no matter what I do I can’t get Firefox to go over 300 Mbps (connecting to the same server).
I get the same results with Waterfox and Pale Moon and get the same results when I run Firefox in Safe Mode. Does anyone know why this is happening?
I don't have a Firewall or Anti-Virus software enabled.

What other factors have you controlled for (e.g., tested all in safe mode)?

My experience with FireFox is really bad related to the overall performance. But in this specific case... What plugins do you have installed?
