No, it is not just you.  Firefox is pinwheeling waiting for content,
and the request ends in a timeout.

Just a guess on my part based on recent problems experienced by GNU...
AI agents are bringing the server to its knees while trying to scrape
content for LLM training.  Also see
<https://sourceware.org/pipermail/overseers/2025q3/020097.html>,
<https://sourceware.org/pipermail/overseers/2025q3/020064.html> and
friends.

Debian should put something like Anubis or go-away on the front-end to
throttle or stop or slow the requests.
