F-Secure ''Browsing Protection'' extension disabled by Mozilla 'due to stability or security issues'
My Browsing Protection by F-Secure extension was disabled by Firefox 98.0.1 (32-bit) due to stability or security issues. Hard to believe there is such a problem with a top Antivirus product, may be a mixup. Are you aware of this/is it going to be resolved?

Actually, Firefox often has conflicts with security software because that software likes to inject itself into or wrap itself around Firefox's processes, which sometimes causes hangups (like Firefox showing blank windows, or no windows) or crashes.
I am not familiar with the F-Secure add-on issue. I suspect that if you contact F-Secure support they will tell you they are working with Mozilla on it, but I think it is worth opening a ticket so they can notify you about fixes or updates to their add-on sooner than anyone on this support forum would hear about it.
Thanks! This is what F-Secure says:
We are working with Mozilla to solve this issue. In the meanwhile, we recommend that you use either Microsoft Edge or Google Chrome browser until the issue has been fixed.
Given the size/importance of the 2 organizations (Mozilla and F-Secure), this should be prioritized/taken up at high-level I think, and it seems so from what F-Sec says. Hopefully it'll be soon, as I don't want to use other browsers...
