Firefox Blocking or Delaying Load on Some Resource Sites?

Hi there,

Lately I’ve noticed that Firefox sometimes delays or fails to load certain academic or book resource sites. One particular example is libgen.is — I occasionally use it for accessing research materials, but Firefox either shows a security warning or takes too long to load the page.

I tested the same link on Chrome and Edge, and it loads without any issue. My Firefox is up to date, and I’ve already tried clearing the cache and disabling add-ons, but the problem persists.

Could this be due to DNS settings or enhanced tracking protection? Is there a workaround or exception I can set safely?

Appreciate any help, thanks!
