Using firefox as a browser

Firefox (152.0.4, 64-Bit) security settings – whether intended or not – are blocking work on the Internet. For example, loading Amazon takes forever until it’s unreachable, and further browsing (scrolling often not possible). The same with Edge works without any problems. What do I need to do to work quickly without constant blocks? Is there a zero setting? With simple security settings? The issue seems related to https to http as well. Also, opening a private new window once works, but a second window is blocked.

Temporarily turned off the smart firewall in Norton Security. I think Firefox works better, for example with Amazon. I'll keep going this way. Thanks

Do you use any antivirus or security software that might be snooping into your connections? Could you try either disabling it for a test, or turning off any "safe web" or "https scanning" features in their settings?

I use Norton Security, no blocked websites, turn off possible - I have to test (rather last). Work with desktop.

See support.mozilla.org/questions/1558393 for some previous issues.

There's an example thread over at Norton support: community.norton.com/t/possible-https-scanning-issue-with-cloudflare-protected-websites-wise-cloudflare-etc/524688/5

Maybe they need to fix/update something, or are not compatible with some of the "big tech" platforms' protocols used, or these big site operators don't like some middlebox poking its nose into their secured connections… never found any real answer to that. Probably Norton would have to explain that in more detail.
