I experienced a problem like that recently, but a start of a new tab with loading data from any page fixes it. My wlan is also no so stable as before (an usb dongle: ASUSTek Computer, Inc.

It would be nice to know if you changed the settings for dns in about:config Also if you are using a particular DNS provider as some have issues from time to time. You should also make sure to load FF without any extension. I had an issue with an extension for anonymization. I experience since some weeks severe slow downs during page loading and very often after this, a breakage for disconnect of wlan. Did you look at journalctl or dmesg to see if there are wlan problems? I could also be that the firmware of the wlan makes trouble. Which chipset do you use for wlan?
I received an off-list reply with a link to an unresolved bug that seems
likely to be the same issue:
Hi there
You probably experience an old bug:
https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1108163
Since there has not been any progress so far, it would be nice if you could add your experience.

I'll hold back a little before adding to the bug because I'm still not back up and running permanently on that machine so can't test it in any greater depth.
I've not changed DNS settings. As far as I'm aware my DNS provider is my French ISP, one of the country's largest. They may not be the best, I've seen one or two occasions that DNS has gone down, but the workaround for the behaviour I'm seeing is reproducible just by restarting the browser normally, so it's unlikely to be a DNS issue. I've not checked logs or tried disabling extensions. Might look into that when I'm on the machine again full-time.
The wireless is Intel AC 9260. Prior to the hard drive failure, whilst I didn't have this particular issue, there were a couple of other things. After I bought a cheap-ish USB dock with ethernet, the wired connection through there crapped out two or three times in a week. And some annoying page-caching quirk has started developing on Firefox in recent months, whereby it keeps pulling an out-of-date cached version of a page despite me having refreshed and updated it many times. But I'm seeing that on other systems running other OS's too.

Oh, I deactivated caching (as I think it is of no use for me). So I cannot ad on that specific aspect. But there must be an issue on the lates kernel updates too. I have a Lenovo X201 and as the old wlan card was not viable with the kernel any more I did get an ASUSTek Computer, Inc. N10 Nano 802.11n This was working for a while flawlessly but since a month I am getting sudden wlan connection drops without any apparent reason. Sometimes I get in the logs that the adapter received a "disconnect" command (which is an open broadcom DOS) so it may be a neighbor kid does experiment with hacking on surrounding devices. But today again it "just drops". What I see in FF (which is when it happens all the time) it takes a lifetime to load a page...and then nothing. When you go then on the user that is handling the connections (a separate account on my setup) then you see that the system did drop the wlan. I would suspect some wrong energysaving command or an issue with dns but I am not sure as I did not find pertinent really errors on dmesg or journalctl about it.
Just a note: a but of 2018/12 is recent for opensuse speed. I had much worse. At least it is confirmed, that means somebody did look on it.
