Thanks for the report, I'm getting a different behavior, for me the page never loads on Firefox.

Note:

1. The issue is not reproducible on Chrome.
2. The issue is reproducible on Firefox regardless of the ETP status.

Tested with: Browser / Version: Firefox Nightly 100.0a1 (2022-03-29), Firefox Release 98.0.2 Operating System: Windows 10 Pro

Moving to Needsdiagnosis for further investigation.

This seems to be working now. It's redirected to passport.weibo.com and then to https://weibo.com/u/1833594594 (takes a while though). @softvision-oana-arbuzov can you still reproduce?

[softvision-oana-arbuzov]

@ksy36 indeed after a very long time it loads.

Navigating to https://weibo.com/u/1833594594 it redirects to https://passport.weibo.com/visitor/visitor?entry=miniblog&a=enter&url=https%3A%2F%2Fweibo.com%2Fu%2F1833594594&domain=.weibo.com&ua=php-sso_sdk_client-0.6.36&_rand=1654005743.9808

This behavior is not encountered on Chrome.

I'm not experiencing any of the slowdowns or problems discussed when I visit the profile link on my phone in Firefox 103 or today's nightly release. The same profile page loads about as quickly as it does in Chrome. @softvision-oana-arbuzov is the problem still happening on your end?

[softvision-oana-arbuzov]

@wisniewskit it is still an issue on my side. The page loaded by redirecting to https://weibo.com/login.php in more than a minute. I've recorded another performance profile: https://share.firefox.dev/3Kvu56o

Hmm. I wonder if it's region specific. On my machine, I'm first redirected to https://passport.weibo.com/visitor/visitor for a second or two, and then back to https://weibo.com/u/1833594594. @denschub maybe you will have better luck reproducing it from Germany?
