links don’t redirect properly?

Hi! If I click a link that is meant to redirect somewhere else (and I know that they do that properly on other browsers so it isn’t an issue with the links themselves because I recently switched and they worked fine) it doesn’t work. For example, if I click on a link to a news article through a post on X/Twitter,rather than redirecting to the site, Firefox just stays on a page that says “A server with the specified hostname could not be found“. I’ve looked at the settings in the Firefox app and haven’t found anything that solves this but I hope there’s just something I’m missing because it’s very frustrating
