When I see a power point slide on LinkedIn I get this Tab above the slide saying "Scanning for Viruses". It has the options "accessibility mode", "Download Document", "Exit Full Screen", "Skip", "Cancel", "Download", "Proceed anyways". (See picture). Normally it's just a Power Point Slide and I can just click on the right to see more but I can't anymore and I can't make the tab go away.

I looked at this post from Chrome and it works without issue. I disabled all my extensions and it is still happening.

Please let me know what i need to do for this to stop. My only guess is that I updated my Firefox recently, so maybe some new update caused this?

Thank you!!

Firefox isn't a AV scanner that is either from the site or 3rd party installed Security software doing that or Addon A/V plugin doing that.
