How do I disable TLS handshaking in Firefox 70.0?
Since upgrading to 70.0 each page takes ridiculously long to get through TLS handshaking (10 - 15 seconds not unusual). How do I disable it.

A TLS handshake isn't something that you can disable. It's an essential step in connecting to a website. It's the initial step that connects you to the website's server.
If you find that it's taking a long time, it could be your security software. Avast and AVG have caused this a lot in the past. There is an Enable HTTPS Scanning option somewhere in the Avast/AVG settings that you can disable to speed up the process.
Another common culprit are add-ons, specifically content blocking add-ons. You can try running Firefox in Safe Mode to see if the problem goes away. If it does, one of your add-ons that you have installed on Firefox is likely slowing down the TLS handshake process.
Hope this helps.
