On right of your first post, in your Question Details > More system details > your User Agent used to post this thread is Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:91.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/91.0

It appears you have a modified UA as either you set the UA to display as if you have Firefox 91.0 or you have enabled privacy.resistFingerprinting as one of the things it does is change the UA to be the current Extended Support Release or ESR which is Fx 91.7.1 ESR based on 91.0 Release.
