[Python] Selenium takes time to load the first page

With the following simple script, I'm trying to load a web page using Selenium on MacOS :

from selenium import webdriver

service = webdriver.firefox.service.Service('/Path to geckodriver', port=56009)
driver = webdriver.Firefox(service=service)


Firefox launches correctly, but takes about 2 minutes to load the first page. After that, I can navigate normally.

What I tried:

• use Chrome driver
• use a downloaded geckodriver instead of the one given by Selenium
• add a port number
• simply launch firefox without doing any “get” afterwards

Unfortunately, the problem remains.

Thank you very much for your help
