121.0.1 useless : "XYZ is slowing down firefox", links stop working, etc..

Ex. https://www.lowes.com/pl/Rubbermaid--Storage-organization/

After a few seconds, links stop working, FF starts complaining about uBlock and LastPass slowing firefox down.

Didn't happen before 121.0.1.

I have massive slowdown. I had to restart firefox to post this and only came here and created account to report it. Not sure what's going on but happened right after update. YouTube video is where it shows up for me but is likely overall responsiveness. Even typing was lagging. I need to roll back to prior version. Only 1 tab with this page is 12 Firefox processes and over 1 GB RAM.

Hello

My feedback and clarification

Dedicated profiles per Firefox installation
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/dedicated-profiles-firefox-installation

What happens if I have more than one installation of Firefox?
Some users have multiple installations of Firefox, each in separate program folders. Firefox uses a dedicated profile for each installation of Firefox, including Nightly, Beta, Developer Edition and Extended Support Release (ESR) installations. This makes Firefox more stable when switching between installations on the same computer, and also allows you to run different Firefox installations at the same time.

Same here, but it's any page at lowes.com but it is *any* search result page that causes the slowdown. This began happening / was noticed immediately after updating to 12.0.1 Windows 64-bit Firefox. I have not noticed it on any site other than lowes.com so far.
