Browsing Protection affects LinkedIn

The Browsing Protection Firefox addon is making my LinkedIn profile excruciatingly slow. (Screen shot has a blank screen because I've scrolled down to the bottom of the page and it's trying to load more posts.)

The prompt is asking me to disable the browser extension.

Is there anything F-Secure can do about this or should I just disable the extension?

Firefox version 132.0.1 (64-bit) → should be up to date, I have automatic updates on.

Windows 10 Pro (10.0.19045)

    Hello @elinaveera

    Thank you for your post.

    First, we ask you to check if the slowdown problem on Firefox is not related to TLS 1.3 hybridized Kyber support. If necessary, make the appropriate changes to your browser. We wrote about it in this article:

    [Windows/MacOS] I cannot connect to the internet using Edge, Chrome or Firefox while the F-Secure VPN is turned ON

    If, despite disabling TLS 1.3 hybridized Kyber support and restarting the browser, the problem with slowness in opening web content persists, we will need diagnostic data from our program on your device.

    Let us know what the situation currently looks like. If necessary, we will send you instructions on how to collect the diagnostic data.

    Best regards.

    Hi Pawel, thanks for a quick reply. I tried disabling TLS 1.3 but the problem persists.

    Hello @elinaveera

    I understand. Thank you for your reply.

    In that case, we need to investigate this problem more closely, as it has not been rapped until now.

    I will send you a private message with instructions for downloading diagnostic data from our device along with additional questions.

    Please check your inbox on our forum.

    Best regards.
