Exploit Protection is locked by the Site, but no settings changed between 72 and 73. 73 is broken.

could you test if the issue is fixed in today's nightly test builds?:

Firefox 75.0a1 works!
I also noticed that 73 seems to be having problems closing down. After I closed its window the two processes persisted, and I had to kill them by hand.
Also, how do I get my profile into he new version? No I cannot use a FF account - not allowed in my work environment.

thank you for the confirmation - although you're not running firefox in compat mode, you're apparently suffering from a problem of similar root cause, which is worked on in bug 1614885 - so i'll mark your report as a duplicate.
running nightly was only intended as a test at this stage, but you can expect to see an update for your firefox 73 sometime next week that should fix things there as well.
