Firefox on LinuxMint Desktop cannot access pages that I have accessed before
I was trying to go to ssa.gov, today, and hit the button to login. When I did that, I got a 400 page saying: Bad Request
Your browser sent a request that this server could not understand. Size of a request header field exceeds server limit.
I have done this before, and it worked. To test if it was a problem with the web page or the browser, I did it from another browser (Brave), and it loaded fine. Is Firefox sending a bad request? Is this something you can fix.
I am using Mozilla Firefox for Linux Mint 137.0.1 (64 bit).

No issues for me. see screenshot
Did you try with Firefox in Troubleshoot Mode? https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/diagnose-firefox-issues-using-troubleshoot-mode#w_how-to-start-firefox-in-4troubleshoot-modesf5safe-modesf
Did you clear your browser cache? https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/clear-cookies-and-site-data-firefox
Try downloading Firefox from Mozilla, run firefox-bin from the folder and see if you have the same issue. https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/#product-desktop-release
Had same issue on Win11. Clear Browser cache fixed it.
For reference, it occurred no the SSA.GOV website when logging in.
