sky broadband broke firefox

more options

recently switched to sky broadband, now half my web comics and other sites get 401d. some stupid interaction with their webshield rubbish seems to be the cause as it pops up occasionally. thing is, edge and brave have no such issue, and the trouble shooting guide for firefox not loading pages doesnt resolve the issue. restore firefox has partial effect until next time i restart my computer. but resetting my addons every time i sit down would be rediculous.

im guessing there is something in the dragons nest i need to toggle. im rather comfortable with how i use the tab sidebar and speed dial pins to be very eagre to switch browser.

Does the Web Shield have an option to not filter your Firefox browsing? If you can bypass that and test without it, that would be helpful in troubleshooting whether it's the external filter or perhaps a Firefox setting/add-on.
