Google site issues

Hi all. I've noticed that recently a number of Google sites fail to load or load very slowly in Firefox (84.0.1 - 64 bit). Specifically: - photos.google.com: continually prompted with "A web page is slowing down your browser. What would you like to do?" with the options "Stop it" or "Wait". I continually choose Wait but I never get to see the photos. (FYI on my Android mobile it works just fine.) - mail.google.com (or gmail.com): sometimes it doesn't load at all and I need to quit the tab (usually pinned) and start a new tab.

I'm not sure if these issues are related from the browser side, but they have both become very annoying. I haven't seen such issues with other sites.

Sincerely. Eddy

Make sure you are not blocking content.

Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web link}

A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Safe Mode (not Refresh). Is the problem still there?

Many site issues can be caused by corrupt cookies or cache.

Warning ! ! This will log you out of sites you're logged in to. You may also lose any settings for that website.

There is security software like Avast, Kaspersky, BitDefender and ESET that intercept secure connection certificates and send their own.
