After 3 reboots and several login and logout for two different users, everything works perfect, touch on wood... So one thing was the name server, and the other probably solved itself with the new inird caused by the recent update. Hope it stays that way :-) Thanks everybody for the help!

Hm. Right now - since some hours - the strange behavior has disappeared. In the meantime I made a zypper up that installed new nvidia drivers and thus created a new initrd.
Since the boot after that everything looks good.
Maybe something in my previous initrd was wrong and caused these problems, and with the new one it is now solved? I have no idea but tend to hope so.
I also tried with the new user I created today and also there the problem does not exist anymore, right now...
e-Mail, all my browser profiles of different browser, all works with le local wifi. I hope it will be like that also tomorrow, or for sure you will hear about it :-)
I'll post tomorrow anyway to tell about the situation after some reboots and log-in's.

After changing the name server everything seemed fine. But it isn't. In fact it is very strange.
speed test pages say I have 10 Mbps download and 40 Mbps upload (I thought it should be reverse, but several pages say the same).
Now, sometimes I open a webpage, like google, and it is here in no time. Next time I go to google it need 30 seconds. Or google comes up fast, but then clicking on a search result leads to a time-out...
Sometimes I see TLS-handshaking status for 30 seconds, another time - on the same page - no problem.
I had timeouts with google, paypal, my own site, and with thunderbird. Sometimes, when I open-close-open-close-open-close the browser window 3 times, the third time the website comes up immediatly, but then clicking on a link stops it again. Or it works. It's crazy.
Using the same wifi on my mobile phone's firefox works just perfect. So it must be something with my laptop. But what?
I tried a new virgin user with a new virgin firefox profile. The same... The problem is with thunderbird, firefox, seamonkey, chromium. I logged out and in, I rebooted...
What could it be? What can I search for?

I am here trying to use the wifi of my landlord. It is extremely slow, so slow that I cannot download emails with thunderbird due to time-out.
The landlord says that ohers using the same wifi don't have problems.
If use use that wifi on my phone, internet is fast and everything works, so I guess it is a problem on my computer.
On the other hand, when I use my mobile phone as a 4G-hotspot and connect the laptop to this, internet works. Not very good, but it works. So it is not that my laptop in general doesn't like the internet, the problem is specific to the wifi of the house here.
So my computer has something against the landlords wifi. What can it be? How can I find out?
Things I noted (don't know if normal):
- when connceted to that wifi, all mozilla programs need very long to open (thunderbird: 60 seconds, fireox 45 seconds). I am talking about the time from the click on the icon until the program window appears. When I connect over my mobile phone, those programs open normal. Do they really care about the connection? I think they should open without problems even if there is no connection at all, for local use...???
- sometimes the connection over the phone (using it as a mobile hotspot) also breaks down to very slow. Do I have a general internet problem that shows especially n the wifi here?
I have no idea where to start to search for the error. Please help. Thanks!
